Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The continents fit together - this can be seen when we analyze in which direction they are moving and by reversing it we can see that they would fit almost perfectly together.

2. Fossils - many fossils were found scattered in some parts of the world and that would be impossible in a scenario where the continents didn't shift the way they did, or at all.

3. Rocks - magnetic mineral formation inside of rocks indicate that the continents were in another place during the formation of the rocks
