Continents do not fit together perfectly, for the same reason a cookie won't if you were to break it violently. ...Some of the pieces that would otherwise cause a perfect fit falls off from the larger pieces as small/large crumbs. Therefore, since it was a powerful force that caused continents to drift, some of the pieces connected to the landmass had most likely fallen or remains adrift as an island or other type of landmass.
What else can I help you with?
What is the math word that means fit exactly together?
I think it's congruent.
What percent of the worlds population thinks the continents once fit together?
every one should because the continents did once fit together
Why don't the shapes of the continents now fit together exactly?
The shapes of continents do not fit together exactly because they have been moving and shifting over millions of years due to plate tectonics. This movement has caused the continents to break apart and drift apart from each other, resulting in their current shapes. Additionally, erosion and other geological processes have also altered the original shapes of the continents.
What was the continents that fit together called?
When all the continents fit together into one big continent, we call that Pangaea.
Which two continents did Alfred Wagner think look like they fit together puzzle pieces?
Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents of South America and Africa looked like they could fit together like puzzle pieces to form a single landmass called Pangaea.
How do the contenents fit together?
The continents fit together just like a puzzle. The edges of the continents line up so that South America fits right against Africa.
When scientist mapped the edges of the continents they found more evidence that the continents fit together?
True
When scientists mapped the edges of the continents they found more evidence that the continents fit together?
True
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
Is it true or false when scientists mapped the edges of the continents they found more evidence that the continents fit together?
false

Where did the continents fit together when Pangaea occurred?
During the formation of Pangaea, the continents fit together in a supercontinent that was surrounded by a single large ocean called Panthalassa. The shapes of today's continents suggest that they were once connected, as evidenced by the matching coastlines of South America and Africa.
