Answer:
Mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continents.
Fossils of the same animals appear on the edges of continents.
Explanation:
The theory of continental drift suggests that Earth's crust is cracked into numerous tectonic plates that move across the globe in a different direction. The reason for this is the convection currents from the mantle which create huge pressure on the crust managed to crack it in the first place and push it in a certain direction.
There are numerous pieces of evidence that support this theory and two of those are the location of the newer mountain ranges and the fossils. The mountain ranges form at the edges of continents, or rather where tectonic plates collide, thus the crust lifts up because one of the plates subducts and gradually creates mountain ranges. Every organism is unique and it adapted to particular living conditions and there is pretty much zero chance that the same organism can exist in totally different environments and in places that have no connection whatsoever. Finding fossils of the same species on several different continents that are thousands of km away from each other proves that ones they were merged and had the same living conditions.
