Which land feature supports the theory of continental drift?

Answer
A
canyons

Coal fields on continents now far apart can have matching patterns and ages, suggesting those lands were once joined. Their locations also indicate that some regions now cold were once warmer and covered by forests where coal formed. This supports continental drift, so the answer is coal fields.
