Lithospheric rocks, (Basaltic and Granitic rocks)
I don't know. :p
Rock types can provide evidence of continental drift by matching on opposite sides of current oceans, showing that the continents were once connected. For example, the Appalachian Mountains in North America align with the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, indicating they were once part of the same mountain range before continental drift occurred. Additionally, similar fossils and rock formations found on different continents support the theory of continental drift.

Continental drift is the drift of continents. The earth consists of large plates floating on a ball of molten rock. Such a plate is called a tectonic plate, and since they float, they can float a way. This is called continental drift. Continental drift is one of the main causes of earthquakes. Earthquakes especially happen when two continental plates are shifting next to each other.
Alfred Wegener used evidence from the fit of continents, distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climate data to support his theory of continental drift.
Granitic rock forms the majority of the continental crust.
Matching coastlines, similar rock formations, and similar fossils found on different continents are evidence for continental drift. These similarities suggest that the continents were once part of a single landmass that later drifted apart.
improvements in technology like drilling for rock samples and instruments that measure magnetism of the iron in the sea floor rock
When the glacier melted from North America it left a mass of "heterogeneous" rock debris (loosely termed "glacial drift") etc

Granite is the rock that makes up most of the continental crust. It is a coarse-grained igneous rock that is formed through the slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals.
