Explanation:

Weathering is defined as the process by which rock materials are broken down by the action of physical or chemical processes. Physical weathering is known as mechanical weathering, where rocks breakdown into smaller pieces by mechanical means.

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth.

Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rock into smaller pieces.

How does the shape of our present day continents support the idea of continental drift?

As well mineral specimens along the supposed break lines of the continents are nearly identical. Some identical species exist on certain continents, like an earthworm common to both Africa and South America suggesting the species could not have spontaneously arisen on both continents without some variations.
