Plate tectonics -- more commonly known as continental drift. It is not a theory, but a fact that is very well supported by evidence.

The Continental Drift Theory

There's another part that everyone is leaving out... it's called continental drift.
Plate tectonics only describes the fact thaat the crust is made up of solid plates of rock that bump into each other. Continental drift specifically describes the directions in which those plates move.

The theory is called the Pangaean Theory. Plate Techtonics moved land, and then the land masses drifted. And you can see the results of it.

To add to the other answers, if you look closely, the continents appear to fit together like a puzzle..
