Yes, there is lots of evidence to prove that it is infact true. For instance, the way South America and Africa fit together like a jigsaw piece. Also, the fact that these two continents have identical fossil and geological records.
This is a 15 year old answering the question, so I would appreciate it if people didn't criticise my answer...

∙ 13y agoYes, because of the shape of the different continents and plus, there were traces of an distinct animal fossil found on the south American and Australian Continent, this shows that the animal remains could have been "spread out" through Continental drift. :)

When you make a what you make a decision to believe something about something as true?
hypothesis
What best describes the word hypothesis?
It is an idea, which the person setting out the hypothesis may believe is true.
Why was wegener's continental drift hypothesis not widely accepted?
People thought he was crazy and not very smart but he proved them. He found a way.
True or false If your experiment does not support your hypothesis you should change your data to give support to the hypothesis?
False- The hypothesis is your prediction of what you expect to happen. If the data does not agree with your hypothesis you simply explain why your hypothesis did not come true and possibly investigate variable which would allow your hypothesis to come true.
Summarize the ways that fossils helped support the hypothesis of continental drift?
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.
Is it true that Harry Hess introduced the theory of continental drift?
yes
True or false wegener knew that continental drift explained fossils of tropical plants?
true
Is Alfred Wegener's hypothesis true about continental drift?
Yes and no. His hypothesis about how the plates were moved eventually was proven wrong, although his hypothesis that the plates had shifted in position over time was proven. The physical evidence in support of continental drift (now referred to as the theory of plate tectonics) began to be considered overwhelming back in the 1960s, with the discovery of the mid-ocean ridges and the accompanying paleomagnetic striping along the sea floor which has recorded magnetic reversals in newly formed crustal rock. More recently, we have measured the rates of motion of each of the continental plates using GPS satellite technology. The fact the plates drift is now indisputable.
Is it true that plate tectonics combines the concepts of sea-floor spreading and continental drift?
yes its true
Is it true that professor Arthur Holmes developed an explanation for continental drift in 1926?
no it was in 1982
Is the theory of the continental drift true?
Continental Drift is an obsolete name for the theory of Plate Tectonics and yes, it is true. It has been proved in many ways, by comparing the composition of oceanic crust and its ages with that of the continental crust, by plotting the reversals of magnetism in the oceanic crust and many other ways.
Who first stated the theory of continental drift?
That would be Alfred Wegener.yah! it's true ALFRED L. WEGENER [1880-1930] who first proposed the CONTINENTAL DRIFT IN 1912. obejerojamjam@yahoo.com :))
What is an hypothesis for the question is smiling contagious?
I believe this is true. I believe smiling is contagious.
When you make a what you make a decision to believe something about something as true?
hypothesis
Similar rock structures exist in the Appalachian Mountains and in Greenland and western Europe?
True. This is all because of continental drift
The idea that the continents were once one large land mass called Pangaea is part of the theory of continental drift.?
true
What best describes the word hypothesis?
It is an idea, which the person setting out the hypothesis may believe is true.
