Probably the first evidence was that the coastlines of Africa and South America seem to match up like puzzle pieces, and landscape features on the two continents also match.
There are several pieces of evidence from land features which support Wegener's idea of continental drift. One example is that if you line up the maps of South America and Africa you will see that the mountain ranges line up, which is strong evidence that the two continents were once one.
North America, South America,Europe, Asia, Africa,Antarctica,Austrailia.
The continents appear to have once fit together (like South America and Africa). Also, there were similar fossils found on different continents.
There is evidence that the continents may have been close, because if you look at a map for the earth, it looks like the earth is a big puzzle. Saudi Arabia fits into Eurasia, South America can interlock with Africa, and if you moved all the little islands between US and Europe, the could slide in. As you can see, there is evidence that the continents may have been closer at one time.
