Continental Drift was introduced by Alfred Wegener. He divulged his theory through his book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. He believed there was once a supercontinent called Pangaea. He supported his proposition of continental drift through the geographic distribution of fossils, ancient climates, and the puzzle piece fit of Africa and South America.
The Hawaiian Islands are evidence of continental drift because they are all pieces of the intra-plate chain of volcanoes. They were created by the Pacific plate in the northwest moving over what are deemed as "hot spots" to produce magma and develop volcanoes.
Some fossils found in South America are also found in Africa, suggesting that at some point the two landmasses were linked and so had the same wildlife. Also, the west coast of Africa "matches up" to that of the east coast of South America, indicating the two used to be joined.
Technically, they were all formed by the same underwater volcanoes, but because of tectonic shift, instead of one large island, a chain of islands was formed.
Yes, yes it is.
Convergent boundary Convergent boundary
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.

It was formed from the volcanism created by a subducting oceanic plate at a convergent plate boundary.
