There are two basic evidences to support this theory:
1. Animals or plants of the same species can be found on separated continents (for example, Africa and Australia or North America and Europe) naturally, and have not been placed by man. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, allowing the animals and plants to disperse.
2. The continents all seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, but have since broken off and their Coastlines have eroded since then, which explains why they do not perfectly fit together.
The item that provides evidence that the continents were once closer together is called "pangea".
The main evidence that supports the theory of one supercontinent is the presence of similar geological features, rock formations, and fossils on different continents that align perfectly when the continents are pieced together, such as the coastlines of South America and Africa. Additionally, studies on paleoclimatology and the distribution of ancient species provide further evidence of the continents once being connected in a single landmass.
Evidence of continental drift includes the matching shapes of continents, similar fossils found on different continents, and geological features that align across separate continents. These clues suggest that the continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangea.
Evidence to prove the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea includes fossil evidence of similar plant and animal species across continents, the matching shapes of coastlines and mountain ranges on different continents, and the distribution of ancient rock formations that line up when continents are fitted together. Additionally, geological evidence such as rock layers and paleoclimatic data also supports the theory of Pangaea's existence.
Evidence for the continents being joined together in a supercontinent, called Pangaea, includes similar fossil and rock formations found on different continents, the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures when continents are pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, and matching coastlines and continental shelves that fit together like a puzzle. Additionally, evidence from paleoclimatology, the study of past climates, supports the theory of continental drift.
When all the continents were joined together as one supercontinent, it was called Pangaea.
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"

The shapes of the continents more or less fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Other evidence discovered by geologists have shown that they did indeed once form a single continent called Pangaea.

The continents that were proposed to have once fit together are called Pangaea. This supercontinent existed around 300 million years ago before breaking apart into the continents we know today.
The oldest of the super continents was called Rodinia
Most continents fit together the best along their coastlines, such as the east coast of South America aligning with the west coast of Africa. This alignment is evidence of the theory of plate tectonics, where continents were once joined together in a single landmass called Pangaea.
They were once together in a form called Pangea look at a map all the continents fit together like a puzzle
The theory that the continents used to be one single land mass all "pushed together" is called pangaea
His eviendence (and since he didn't have enough) was that he found eviendence on fossils land scape trenches and when he put the continents all together than he saw that the continents fit like a jigsaw puzzle and called it pangea.
Pangaea. It was known as the supercontinent.
