1.Fossils were found of the same species that they could not live today.
2.Scientists could fit the pieces together much like a jigsaw puzzle.
3.Glacial forms have been found in different continents that are similar.
Wagener Theory
Continental drift theory was proposed before the discovery of the mid-oceanic ridge, when it was hypothesized that the continents were actually plowing through the oceans. This theory was an attempt to explain the commonality of fossils on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and the observation on maps of the Earth that the North American and South American continents appeared to have been pulled apart from Europe and Africa. With the discovery of the mid-oceanic ridge, where new crustal plate is being created, and subduction zones, where plates are being destroyed, plate tectonic theory was born; that the crust of the earth is divided into many segments that are in constant motion, that the oceanic crust is constantly being recycled--all driven by heat from the Earth's interior. Plate tectonics is now nearly universally accepted as scientific fact, yet questions remain to be answered on some of the mechanisms of the process.
Pangaea (also Pangea) was the collection of all land masses on Earth around 250 million years ago, which broke into the current landforms through continental drift. Pangaea is from the Latin for "entire Earth".
The first three are already know to you: #1 Width #2 Length #3 Depth #4 is Space/Time it is a combination of space and time, but at high energy states they can be separated. The remaining 7 dimensions are not yet named or discovered, but string theory predict them using math. They are so small they cannot be seen, but gravity seems to work through them. They could be quantum dimensions and the reason why quantum theory has different laws than general relativity theory and larger scales.

Assuming you mean the water, then the ocean is made up of two main elements Hydrogen and Oxygen. Note the name H20 Hope this helps!
A scientist (can't remember his name) took pictures or models of the continents and put them together and they fit like a puzzle, so that's where continental drift came from,
continental drift
the theory of sea floor spreading
Pangia
Plate Tectonics.

Pangaea .

The Pangaea theory or the Expanding Earth theory posits that the Earth originally had one supercontinent that slowly divided. Pangaea is the name of the supercontinent.
Alfred Wegner came up with the idea of continental drift he was a German scientist and his last name is pronounced "vegner"
