"Why Dont The Present Shapes Of The Continents Fit Perfectly Together?"
Why dont the present shapes of the continents fit perfectly together?
Good Day....
Pangea before was separated by plate tectonic due to the convection current of the mantle and the valid evidence for continental drift theory is seafloor spreading.
The present shapes of the continent doesnt fit perfectly because of weathering and the power of ocean waves which destroys and continue changing the appearance of headlands or the edge of the continents. Volcanic islands also created due to hot spot in the middle of the plates and on the plate boundaries.
Hope this helps....=)
