A map of the continents (with the exclusion of Antarctica and the inclusion of Greenland) is included in the link below and depicts how they would fit together today. They do not completely lock perfectly as their coasts have been eroded.
When all the continents fit together into one big continent, we call that Pangaea.
The continents with the most obvious fit of coastlines are Africa and South America. This is known as the theory of continental drift, where it is believed that these continents were once connected as part of the supercontinent Pangaea. The coastlines of these two continents appear to fit together like pieces of a puzzle, providing evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.
The continents fit together best in the Pangaea configuration during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras, approximately 300 million years ago. This supercontinent began to break apart around 200 million years ago, leading to the formation of the modern continents.
Africa and South America have the most obvious fit of coastlines, suggesting that they were once joined together as part of the supercontinent called Pangaea.
Africa and South America have coastlines that appear to fit together, giving rise to the theory of continental drift and the concept of plate tectonics. This fit is most evident along the Atlantic Ocean.
every one should because the continents did once fit together
When all the continents fit together into one big continent, we call that Pangaea.
The shape of the continents and the way they could fit together best suggests the formation of supercontinents in the past. Also, the distribution of biodiversity gives us information on which continents were joined and at what point they diverged.
The continents fit together just like a puzzle. The edges of the continents line up so that South America fits right against Africa.

South America and Africa are the most notable continents that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle (as all continents do). This suggests that continents were connected at one time and that they are mobile and constantly moving.
