  • Continental Drift: Key Evidence and Supporting Facts
    Here are two pieces of evidence for continental drift:

    1. Matching Coastlines: The coastlines of continents like South America and Africa seem to fit together like puzzle pieces. This suggests that they were once connected. While the fit isn't perfect due to erosion and geological changes over millions of years, the general shape is striking.

    2. Fossil Distribution: Fossils of the same species of animals and plants have been found on continents that are now separated by vast oceans. For example, fossils of the ancient reptile Mesosaurus have been found in both South America and Africa, suggesting they were once connected. This couldn't have happened if these continents were always in their current locations.
