States that the continents were once a single huge landmass. This landmass broke up million years ago and the pieces drifted apart.
facing edges of many continents have similar rock formations. If the continents brought togehter, the formations would match exactly (like combining South America and Africa). Fossils of the same kinds of living things have been found on different continents. Perhaps these living things were together on one landmass before it split.
