South America and Africa look like they fit together because they once did. Long ago the Atlantic Ocean formed as the two continental plates drifted apart.
What else can I help you with?
What of the 2 landmasses seem to fit together the best?
The coastlines of South America and Africa seem to fit together the best because of their similar shapes and continental shelf structures. This is a key piece of evidence supporting the theory of continental drift.
Which coastline of continents seem to match up like puzzle pieces?
The east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa appear to match up like puzzle pieces. This phenomenon is known as the "Atlantic Puzzle" and is evidence of the theory of continental drift.
What evidence is here to show that the continents today were once from one super continent?
If you put all of the Continents together they form one big thing, and they seem to fit just like a jigsaw puzzle,Scientist seem to believe that there was one big super Continent that was called Pangea
What are three pieces of evidence that the continents were once one large landmass?
Continents fit together like puzzle pieces - the coastlines of continents such as South America and Africa seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Fossil evidence - similar fossils of plants and animals found on continents that are now far apart suggest they were once connected. Rock formations and mountain ranges - similar geological features and rock formations found on continents that are now separated indicate they were once part of the same landmass.
What is the item that provide evidence that the continents were once closer together called?
There are two basic evidences to support this theory: 1. Animals or plants of the same species can be found on separated continents (for example, Africa and Australia or North America and Europe) naturally, and have not been placed by man. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, allowing the animals and plants to disperse. 2. The continents all seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, but have since broken off and their coastlines have eroded since then, which explains why they do not perfectly fit together.
What of the 2 landmasses seem to fit together the best?
The coastlines of South America and Africa seem to fit together the best because of their similar shapes and continental shelf structures. This is a key piece of evidence supporting the theory of continental drift.
The best example of how neighboring continents seem to fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces is?
Probably the west coast of Africa with South America.
What two continents appear to fit together?
At one point, all 7 continents were connected. Nearly every combination you can think of was true as well. (North America & Europe, Australia & Asia, etc.). Today the continents of North America and South America are connected and the continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa are connected.
Which country is the farthest south in Africa?
The African country that is farthest south is called South Africa. While many seem to believe South Africa is just the area and direction of the continent, it is in fact a country.
In pangaea map which continents seem to fit together?
In the Pangaea map, the eastern coast of South America fits closely with the western coast of Africa, illustrating the jigsaw puzzle-like nature of the continents. Additionally, the coastlines of North America and Europe/Asia align, particularly around the North Atlantic. Similarly, the southern parts of Africa and South America also show a complementary fit, supporting the theory of continental drift. These alignments highlight the historical connections between the continents before they separated.
Why do soccer golf and tennis don't seem as popular in Africa like they are in America?
because in Africa it is poplaur because im and African American
Where are the jungles in Africa?
There are no jungles in South Africa. South Africa is made up mainly of grasslands with some forests and rain forests.
Why is America divided into North America and South America?
Are you retartded? It's called North America and South America because South America is in the Southern Hemisphere and a north America is in the Northern Hemisphere, see its people like you who make Americans seem stupid. Go and educate yourself you fool.
What are matching coastlines?
Matching coastlines are coastlines from different continents that seem to fit together like puzzle pieces. This observation led to the development of the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics, as it suggests that these continents were once joined together as a single landmass. A famous example of matching coastlines is the fit between the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa.
Which was the first city in south Africa to have street lights?
stand under correction, but seem to remember it being Kimberly
Mesosaurus was a small lizardlike it could survive only shallow freshwater environments does it seem likely that the animal could traveled between those locations why or why not?
Since the Mesosaurus was a fresh water reptile, there was no way it could've swam across the Atlantic Ocean (which has salt water) to both continents. So that meant Africa and South America were at one point joined together.
Are there any Nxusani's living in the US?
There may be, but most still seem to reside in South Africa, mostly in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
