The theory of continental drift helped explain the jigsaw-like fit of continental Coastlines, particularly how South America and Africa align. It also accounted for the presence of similar fossil species, such as Mesosaurus, found on widely separated continents, indicating they were once connected. Additionally, it clarified the distribution of certain geological features, like mountain ranges and coal deposits, that share similar ages and compositions across continents that are now distant from each other.
