Answer 13

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 is right, it basically says that continents were just a massive piece of rock and over the years they have been slowly drifting away from the center and creating smaller sections/continents if you can actually take a look at Argentina's cost line it will perfectly match Africa's left side cost line, that is direct evidence of our young planet earth showing continental drift

Answer 18

we're just addressing the question... that is the actual info behind the theory. In addition, I actually think it kinda makes sense even though it may not be proved.

yes it makes sense

Answer 20

i am just saying its not proven, dont get me wrong, i think it is important for people to understand why it still remains as a "theory"

Answer 21

if u look at the coast lines of the continents you can see remnants of how they could possibly fit together like a jigsaw puzzle
