What observation about this mid-ocean ridge was used to Wenger's hypothesis of continental drift?

Answer 1

When you look at a map of the continents you find that the East coast of South & Central America line up with the Western coast of Africa. With how clearly they match each other, it supported his hypothesis.

Answer 2

One observation that supported Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift was the matching geological features, such as rock formations and mountain chains, on opposite sides of the mid-ocean ridge. This suggested that the continents were once connected and later moved apart.
