    Having South Africa that close to Argentina seems like a bad idea. I reckon they would both turn out somehow even more racist.

    Iceland shouldn’t be on this, it didn’t exist until ~20 million years ago. Pangaea broke up ~200 million years ago.

    Probably lots of others, like most of Japan shouldn’t be labelled either.

      Spain and Portugal are way off. The Appalachians extend to the British Isles and are much older than the mountains in the Iberian peninsula.

        The Great Lakes were filled up by the retreating glaciers of the most recent ice age but most of the deep parts are hundreds of millions years old.

        It’s in the same place relative to China and Russia. It’s not clear how much of that is because this isn’t a Mercator projection, how much of it is tectonic shift, and how much of it is questionable choices on OOP’s part. Some lat/long markers would have helped

      I’m actually pretty sure the west coast wouldn’t exist, didn’t the Rockies get formed by the pacific plate hitting the North American plate while pangea was unforming?

      Yeah. Just a single vast expanse of ocean that makes the modern-day Pacific look small and cramped. Just think how lonely it would be in a boat on the other side of the earth…

      Oh, and the hurricanes will be absolutely gargantuan sometimes, having such a large ocean to strengthen over before finally hitting land.

      With my high-school tectonic plate knowledge, they were probably more ocean, or much wider and flatter.
