Kamron– >> If this all happened…why do the continents fit so well together right now.<< No reason why they shouldn't fit together…all they've been doing is moving apart since the split, with a certain amount of erosion. Actually, the edges of the continental shelves (under water) of the continents are a better fit than the shorelines. The "additional coast" I was talking about was added mostly onto the surface of the continental shelf, and on the coastal plains (inland of the shoreface).
