Yes. According to plate tectonics, South America and Africa were joined together with the rest of the continents conforming a supercontinent known as Pangaea. It however, began to split-up some 175 million years ago, until it conformed the actual configuration.
Not now, but at one time they were. If you look at the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa, it is clear that they could fit into each other. There is a lot of other evidence, such as similar plants and animals in both continents, to show they were connected. They have now drifted far apart and could not attach again.
Yes, long ago, they were connected. But the Theory of continental drift broke them apart.
Try and make the two into puzzle pieces. Cut them out correctly and put them together they should fit.
Africa and South America are both in the Southern Hemisphere. Another clue is that their Coastlines look almost as if they would fit together perfectly, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
If you look at a picture of south America and Africa and then you cut them out they should fit together like a puzzle piece!
It was because of fossils that scientist found.
before the earth looked like it does today the earth was called Pangaea. every continent was fit together like a puzzle piece. lava pulled weak pieces of land which happened to be south and north America and Australia apart and the Americas went west and Australia went south east
something about somedinosaurs found in both continents and they cant swim all across the ocean.
Geologic studies in South America have supported the theory of continental drift and have shown that until 135 million years ago South America was joined to Africa; a Brazil-Gabon link has been established on the basis of tectonic matching.this answer is not pure english
South America and Africa are often considered to fit together well due to their similar shapes along the Atlantic Ocean coastlines. This observation was one of the key pieces of evidence used to support the theory of plate tectonics and the concept of continental drift.
South America and Africa seem to fit together because millions of years ago, they were part of the supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the movement of tectonic plates caused Pangaea to break apart, resulting in the continents drifting to their current positions. This movement left behind similarities in coastline shape, geological features, and ancient rock formations.
Africa and South America if taken as shapes, slot together quite nicely. Google 'Africa and South America', it's well documented.

Africa and South America fit together perfectly.
South America and Africa fit together like a puzzle. This matching pattern is known as the continental drift theory, which suggests that the continents were once part of a single landmass called Pangaea.
The continents fit together just like a puzzle. The edges of the continents line up so that South America fits right against Africa.
Africa
Africa is the only continent that straddles all four hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western. This unique positioning allows Africa to have a diverse climate and geography, ranging from deserts to rainforests.
South America and Africa fit together like puzzle pieces.
