The shape of the continents and the way they could fit together best suggests the formation of supercontinents in the past. Also, the distribution of biodiversity gives us information on which continents were joined and at what point they diverged.
What else can I help you with?
What continents best fit together?
Originally, all the continents were one big super-continent called Pangaea. I would say South America & Africa in my opinion because of its mountain ridges and the distance between each other in modern times. Yes I would say Africa, South/North America as well. Africa could fit right in the Caribbean Sea, in fact I think that's where they were connected originally
Were do most continents fit together the best?
A map of the continents (with the exclusion of Antarctica and the inclusion of Greenland) is included in the link below and depicts how they would fit together today. They do not completely lock perfectly as their coasts have been eroded.
What suggested to early cartographers that the continents were once joined?
The continent pieces fit together as if they where a puzzle. If you look at South America and Africa it seems that they could have once been connected.Fossil evidence in different countries implies that they may have once been joined. The fossils of large birds are the same implying that there was a common ancestor to large flightless modern birds that are separated on different continents.Mid ocean ridges are spreading the ocean floors apart. The age of the rocks on the bottom of the ocean shows that the plates that the continents are on are moving apart.Finally, the most compelling evidence is to do with the magnetism of the rocks. As the lava cools the ferromagnetic material in some rocks lines up with the Earth's magnetic poles. When these rocks move they are no longer lined up to the Earth's current magnetic poles, they produce anomalies in the magnetic readings. These rocks reveal their latitude of where they were when they cooled.
What is best tool to use to compare the size of the continents?
A world map or globe is the best tool to use for comparing the size of continents. These provide a visual representation of the relative sizes of the continents in relation to each other.
Which two continents of pangaea have the best fit?
Africa and South America have the best fit when Pangaea is reassembled due to the matching of their coastlines and geological features, including rock formations and fossils found on both continents. This fit was a key piece of evidence used to support the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener.
Which tool would be best for seeing how the sizes of Earths continents?
A world map or globe would be the best tool for seeing the sizes of Earth's continents. Both provide a visual representation of the size and shape of continents in relation to one another.

Continental Drift.
