The answer is; Match the grooves along the coastlines of continents

If studied well it is observed that the coastal outlines of continents could fit well into one another just like jig-saw puzzle pieces. This means that the continents were once part of a larger landmass that broke off. The pieces drifted away due to continental drift is driven by convectional currents in the mantle.
