You would do better to google this but

let me see

*the continental shelves match together like jigsaw puzzles indicating that they were once joined.

*The fauna and flora of the adjoining 'jigsaw' peices are very similar and genetically it can be shown that they have common ancestors.

*There is also similarities between rocks and fossile of previously adjoining continents.

* The rift valleys such as the one that runs the length of the Atlantic ocean is suggestive that the two plates are pulling apart

* High mountains such as the Himalayan mountains have  formed where two plates have collided and pushed each other up.

This is off the top of my head - you should google it.  :)
