Explanation:

• "aliens landing on the Earth" has no scientific basis related to Continental Drift.
• "fossils on different continents" (e.g., same species fossils on continents now separated) supports Continental Drift as it suggests continents were once connected.
• "mountains on different continents" (e.g., matching mountain ranges across continents) indicates shared geological history, supporting the theory.
• "the continents fitting together like puzzle pieces" (e.g., South America and Africa) is a key visual evidence for Continental Drift.
