Answer:

Pangea/continental drift

Step-by-step explanation:

Alfred Wegener's theory was that all the continents were once together as one giant supercontinent known as Pangea. The continents slowly drifted apart to the position of the continents as of today. The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones.
