Continental drift is a concept relating to the movement of the Earth's continents. The proving of the continental drift theory came from evidence found around the world.
Foremost, scientists had discovered that similar plants and animal fossils were found in or around different continents, suggesting that they were once joined.
The theory of plate tectonics also supported continental drift. If one were to look at a global map, the complementary arrangements between South America and Africa can be easily seen.
