the same rock types on the edges of different continents
and the reverse magnetic polarity show seafloor spreading which shows that the continents are moving.
the Coastlines of South Africa and south ameria seem to match and fit together like a jigsaw and so do many other countries which gives the impression that all the continents were onced joined together as a massive continent called Pangaea

Why was wegeners theory so different?
Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by a vast quantity of evidence, which is why scientists have accepted it.
Are fossils evidence of continental drift?
Yes.
What supported Wagner's theory of continental drift?
Several evidences were given as proof to the theory of continental drift, they include; 1. Climatic evidence (Paleoclimatic Reconstruction). 2. Fossil evidence (Paleontological proof). 3. Continental fit. (Continental margin shapes). 4. Lithological and Stratigrapical similarities of adjacent continental masses. 5. Seafloor spreading. 6. Glacial till. 7. Plate tectonics.
Continental drift is supported by what evidence?
matching fossils in different countries, and all countries look like they fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces
What evidence supports the hypothesis of continental drift?
Continental drift is a hypothesis so there is no actual proof or evidence of it, but rather opinions and views suggesting the possibility of it.
What evidence supported hypothesis of continental drift?
Tropical fossils in Antarctica.
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
What countries supported the continental drift?
no
Give an example of evidence from land features that supported wegeners idea of continental drift?
An example of evidence from land features that supported Wegener's idea of continental drift might include the piecing together of map layouts which show the way that the continents fit together. Wegener is famous for sharing this example.
What is an example of evidence from landforms that supported Wegener's idea of continental drift?
The same fossils found on different sides of the ocean.
What evidence did Alfred Wegener have that supported his idea of continental drift?
South America and Africa fit together like puzzle pieces.
Why was wegeners theory so different?
Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by a vast quantity of evidence, which is why scientists have accepted it.
Why is the platypus good evidence for continental drift?
It is good evidence of continental drift as fossils of previous duck billed platypuses were found in America and Alaska, which Australia was once connected to. This means the platypuses once lived there hence evidence of continental drift.
Are fossils evidence of continental drift?
Yes.
What is the name of the theory that supported the continental drift?
Plate Tectonics.
What was used to dispute continental drift?
Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world. Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined. The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
