Five types of geological evidence that provide strong support for the concept of continental drift :-

Explanation:

1. Occurrences of plant and animal fossils throughout Gondwanaland.

4. Ancient occurrences of tropical plant fossils in rocks from high latitudes.

5. Continuity of rocks and geological structures extending from South    America to Africa.

This evidence was given by the geologist of that time like the Alfred Wegener in his period and since then have been seen to date are the most trusted evidence in the evolutionary phase of supercontinents.
