The fossil of animals are evidence that support the theory of continental drift.

Fossils of tropical plants had been found on polar continents. The only way these plants could have possibly grown is if the continent had once been closer to the equator.
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
they were in astate of Pangaea so they were very spread out due to simalr climate

The Pangaea theory is one that states that all present continents were once together and collectively known as a 'supercontinent' called a Pangaea. The word 'Pangaea' means 'all lands' in Greek, accurately defining the way the continents were 200 millions years ago before it split up. These split-up pieces drifted slowly apart and became the way they are today. Even until now, the shape of the Earth surface is still changing, and it will be forever, as long as the mantle underneath the Earth's crust gets heated and convection currents in the magma keeps dragging the plates.The Pangaea theory was treated with much skepticsm when it was first raised. But since then, there have been much evidence to support this theory.The Pangaea theory is the theory that once all the continents consisted of one large super-continent called Pangaea and that there was one massive ocean called the Panthalassa Ocean.
It shows that Pangaea was a long continent that crossed the equator. Asia & North America then split from the other continent. Antarctica split off the rest.
