Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Evidence for the theory of plate tectonics is continental drift, appearance of younger crustal layers in the ocean, earthquakes along plate boundaries called fault lines, the presence of similar fossils and rocks on separate continents, and the matching shapes of continents that once fit together as a larger continent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of “continental drift.” Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines (like South America and Africa) look like they fit together like a puzzle.
