Well, many many years ago all of the continents were fitted togother in a supercontinent called Pangaea. But, according to plate tectonics, they spread the sea floor apart which, in then, separted in what we have now the 7 continents. In the future it probably will come back together again.

Who first noticed the puzzle like fit of the continents?
Alfred Wegner
Can you describe 3 clues that support the idea of continental drift?
shapes of the continents fit together. fossils of same dinosaur are found in different continents. same plant fossils in different continents.
How do the tectonic plates differ from the time in Pangaea?
Tectonic Plates seperate what are now called Continents. Pangea was a time when all of the continents were together. The prediction came when scientist realized that Africa and South America fit together very well.
Do scientist think the earth surface is broken into huge plates that fit together but move slowly?
Yes. They think the earth's crust (where we are right now), is broken into huge plates (the continents) that fit together, but move very slowly. Thank you for asking.
What evidence supported continental drift?
the same rock types on the edges of different continents and the reverse magnetic polarity show seafloor spreading which shows that the continents are moving. the Coastlines of South Africa and south ameria seem to match and fit together like a jigsaw and so do many other countries which gives the impression that all the continents were onced joined together as a massive continent called Pangaea

What percent of the worlds population thinks the continents once fit together?
every one should because the continents did once fit together
How do the contenents fit together?
The continents fit together just like a puzzle. The edges of the continents line up so that South America fits right against Africa.

How are earths continents linked?
They were once together in a form called Pangea look at a map all the continents fit together like a puzzle
Which 2 continents fit together the best?
