Answer:

In a reconstruction of Earth's geologic past the continents of Africa and South America fit best along <u>the continental shelves .</u>

Explanation:  

Continental Drift -

According to this theory , The continent Earth have moved on geological time that is with respect to each other , therefore , appearing to be drifted across ocean bed .

The Continental drift idea has been subsumed from the theory of the plate tectonics , i.e. , the continents move by riding on plates of the Earth's lithosphere.

This was suggested by Alfred Wegener in his theory of continental drift. He suggested that the coastline of both the continents are perfectly fit. But later proved that continental shelves also well fit.

Immediate responses would be to take shelter under a sturdy building or get to high grounds where nothing can fall on you.
The number of deaths could be reduced by having regular safety checks of buildings and if you know you are near tectonic plate shifting then the building should be built with study material.
