Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of continental drift by citing three main pieces of evidence: first, the jigsaw-like fit of the continents, particularly South America and Africa; second, the distribution of similar fossils across widely separated continents, such as the Mesosaurus found in both South America and Africa; and third, geological similarities, including matching rock formations and mountain ranges found on different continents. These observations suggested that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent before drifting apart.
