How well do the continents fit together?

The continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle due to the theory of plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's plates have moved over time, causing the continents to drift and change positions. The best-known example is the supercontinent Pangea, which is believed to have existed around 300 million years ago before breaking up into the separate continents we see today.


What layer of the earth makes up these plates and what layer are the continents are sliding on?

The plates on the top of the upper mantle are referred to as the lithosphere, which slides on the asthenosphere.well the mantle causes the continents to move on the ocean floor and sand it makes it slideyea know the crustti is i dont ge ehttt


What are pieces of evidence that support the theory of continental drift?

Fossil evidence of similar species found on continents that are now widely separated, matching mountain ranges across continents, similar rock formations and geological structures on different continents, and the fit of continents like puzzle pieces are pieces of evidence that support the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century.


How did Alfred wegener test his theory?

i dont think anyone couldve tested that theory since no computer models in the 1800s. it was supported by fossil and glaciation evidence though. and offcourse later supported furthur by plate tectonics

Why dont the continents fit together perfectly?

Erosion. Back when Pangaea existed, all of the continents fit perfectly together. As they hit each other, they broke off pieces of land and eventually broke apart.
