How do the shapes of different coastlines support continental drift?
The shapes of different coastlines can provide evidence for continental drift because some coastlines on different continents appear to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. For example, the coastlines of South America and Africa have similar shapes and can be fitted together. This suggests that these continents were once joined together and later drifted apart.
