Answer:

  • Jig saw fit.
  • Fossil of flora and fauna
  • glaciation and mountain terrains in different parts of the world.
  • Deposits of coal, gold in lands far away.
  • Rocks having similar dating.

Explanation:

  • The west coast of Africa fits with that of the eastern coast of South America and states that these were geologically similar as they broke away and drifted for the Gondwanaland super landmass.  
  • Similarly, the presence of the gold and coal mines in the ivory coast of Africa and that of South America's coal reserves also proves the same geologic history of the continents.
  • The presence of the mountainous terrain and the glacial topography in various parts of the continent is formed from the chains of the mountain that broke apart in northern and southern hemispheres.
  • The presence of the fossil evidence of plants and the animals that were found on both sides of the landmass is now found on the ocean and sea.

Alfred Wegener collected diverse pieces of evidence to support his theory, including geological “fit” and fossil evidence. Geological “fit” evidence is the matching of large-scale geological features on different continents. Another important piece of evidence in the Continental Drift theory is the fossil relevance. There are various examples of fossils found on separate continents and in no other regions. This indicates that these continents had to be once joined together. <span>Possibly the most important fossil evidence found is the plant, Glossopteris. </span>
