Besides the continents fitting together like a puzzle, what evidence supports the claim that the continents were once close together?

Glacial deposits, specifically till, of the same age and structure are found on many separate continents that would have been together in the continent of Pangaea. Fossil evidence for Pangaea includes the presence of similar and identical species on continents that are now great distances apart
