Since you see the same fossils from on continent to another, it proves that all the continents were once connected.
Let's say one fossil of a small animal is found on one continent, and on another far away, such as Antarctica and Africa. It would be impossible for the small animal to swim from Antarctica to Africa or Africa to Antarctica because it is a small animal, after all. Plus, it might not be a sea animal (let's say it's not for this scenario, so that we can prove that all the continents were once connected).
Therefore, you can say that they were all once connected since the fossils of this small land animal were found in Antarctica and Africa, and it would have been impossible for it to get across if the continents weren't connected. So, since the continents were connected before, this small land animal could easily walk over from Antarctica to Africa or Africa to Antarctica.
This just supports the idea that all the continents were once connected. There are more facts to go into it, such as how all the continents somewhat fit together like a puzzle.
Hope I helped :)

The evidence scientists have are fossil clues, plant clues, climate clues and rock clues. Fossil clues supported the idea because a certain fossil the Mesosaurus was found in two continents on opposite sides of the Earth and the only reason for that is if the lands came together at one time. Plant clues support the idea the same way fossil clues do, like the plant called a Glossopteris was found in different areas around the world. Climate clues support the idea because some of the fossils and plants from warmer climates were found in the Arctic. That explains why there are glaciers in tropical areas. Lastly rock clues support the idea because if the continents were once connected at one time, then the rocks that made up the continents should be in the same locations where they were joined.
Evidence of plate tectonics
To date, fossil evidence shows that humans existed in the Western Hemisphere as far back as 10,000 BC BCE. There is also evidence of tools that also match the fossil remains.

The pieces of evidence Alfred Wegener used to support his theory about continental drift were; Puzzle Fit, Fossil evidence from animals that were once on the same continent, geologic evidence like mountain chains that were connected and now split apart, and ice sheets. Thank you for reading this article and I hoped it answered your question!

Dinosaur bones, plant fossil, sealife fossil the evidence proves that there were animals long ago, and can support evolution
Continental Fit, Fossil Evidence and Sea floor Spreading. I just did this in science a month ago. :)

The evidence that supports wegeners hypothesis is the fossil evidence
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
fossil evidence is when scientist study fossils to figure out how the animal died how it evoled
