Because we have quite a lot of evidence of prehistoric life and we just need to put together what we have and know like a jigsaw to make a clear picture.

However many pieces are still missing as fossilisation is quite rare and many species of life will not have been preserved. Pieces are also missing because we have not found all of the fossils on earth yet as we have not had the technology and time to yet.

The fossil record is also like a jigsaw in the way that one little piece of evidence can just put everything together and make things much more clear.

Why are tectonic plates like the pieces of jigsaw puzzle?

The plates have different shapes, and they all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. They are like puzzle pieces because many years ago, they used to be joined and then they parted. On the other hand, unlike puzzle pieces, some plates are being pushed underneath other plates (usually oceanic under continental), and new crust is being formed at spreading rifts.
