If you take a map and cut out all the Continent, you can see that they fit together almost perfectly, like a giant puzzle. This idea supports the fact that all the continents were connected in one large landmass.
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
The theory of continental drift.
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
The continental drift theory is the theory that once all of the continents were joined in a super-continent, which scientists call Pangaea. Over a vast period of time, the continents drifted apart to their current locations.
the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift
they couldn't agree on how it separated or what made it separate.
It supports the theory because it can be found on all of the continents.

The continental drift theory
Pangaea , all the continents are thought to have fit together millions of years ago.
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
