Summary

Description
English: Continental matching on both Pacific and Atlantic sides as Earth size diminishes by losing ocean floor material. Illustrating the "Expanding Earth theory", an alternative for plate tectonics that is rejected by most of the scientific community. The right hand column, showing the expansion of the Southern Pacific angle, is based on later 3D models by Maxlow and Adams where a near perfect fit of the pacific landmasses was achieved with Australia breaking away from North America. Earlier models depicted it pulling away from South America.
