The continental drift theory and the plate tectonic theory
Africa and South America have the most obvious fit of the crossline due to their similar shapes and geographic features along the coastlines, particularly when looking at their western coasts. This fit is known as the continental drift theory and provides evidence of the continents once being connected as part of a supercontinent.
Two geographic areas that could fit inside Russia are China and India. Russia is the largest country in the world by land area, covering approximately 11% of the Earth's landmass.
One main evidence is the fit of the continents' coastlines, particularly the fit of South America and Africa. Fossil evidence of similar species found on different continents also supports the idea of continental drift. Additionally, the matching geological features and rock formations across continents provide further evidence for the theory of continental drift.
Africa and South America have the most obvious fit of their coastlines. This is known as the "jigsaw fit" and is evidence that the two continents were once part of the same landmass before drifting apart.
The continents with the most apparent fit of their coastlines are Africa and South America, forming what is known as the "Atlantic coast fit." This fit is often cited as evidence for the theory of continental drift and the former existence of the supercontinent Pangaea.

By influencing life. wait, but how would u include the evidence??? state the geographic factor and then give the details from videos and textbooks? or just the evidence?

The geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provides evidence that supports continental drift. Fossils belonging to the Mesosaurus were found far away from each other, in both South Africa and South America.
Two geographic areas that could fit inside Russia are China and India. Russia is the largest country in the world by land area, covering approximately 11% of the Earth's landmass.
South America and Africa were once joined.
1. The continents look like puzzle pieces that should fit together (maybe they did in the past). 2. Fossils and geographic layers found on the coast lines of continents (especially South America and Africa) matched up.
There are truly only two pieces of evidence that supports this, although they are huge:The continents fit together, like a puzzleThere are species of plants and animals with slight alterations (due to adapting to different environments) present in contrasting continents and were not placed there by humans or spread by other animals (such as birds)
Geographical Isolation
Many historians believe that between the years of 300 to 600 AD, the Mayans had reached their highest amount of geographic extension. Of course, the hard evidence of this can always be questioned.
