Three pieces of evidence that South America and Africa were once joined:

  • Fossils - Identical fossils have been found in both South America and Africa.
  • Shapes - They look as if they could fit like a jigsaw
  • Rocks - the layers of rock in the two continents are arranged in the same sequence
