There is also another theory out of the Earth actually growing in size from a smaller globe and from when Pangea was one continent, then as the earth expanded, the continents moved accordingly outward away from the central mass, not tectonic plates moving against each other, but away from each other. I think that also then as the earth cooled more, the earth shrunk back some, and that cause plate tectonic crustal movement against each other, and that maybe both are true, where when the earth gets hotter inside it expands, and when it cools it shrinks, and maybe this happens many times over the course of millions of years, and that would mean that geology, and even archeology would have to be refigured to allow for the movements and displacements, and risings and falling of lands and islands.
