Why don't the shapes of the continents now fit together exactly?
The shapes of continents do not fit together exactly because they have been moving and shifting over millions of years due to plate tectonics. This movement has caused the continents to break apart and drift apart from each other, resulting in their current shapes. Additionally, erosion and other geological processes have also altered the original shapes of the continents.
What do the glossopteris fossils tell us about the early position of the continents?
shows that all three continents were once connected (joined) together. because the 'exact' same fossil types were found in all three different continents, which are now split from each other.
Why don't the present shapes of the continents fit perfectly into a super continents?
As the continents moved further apart, natural erosion of the Coastlines removed and added to the basic shape over billions of years. Much of the evidence relates to the similarities of plants and animals found on now separate continents. Geological evidence points to Antarctica was once further north and had a tropical climate!
