Plate tectonics doesn't exist. At least not in any way we understand.
Color me an extreme septic of the youtube theory above BADecker. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I see zero evidence here. One can make a model of an expanding globe and break the original surface into whatever shape or design one wishes filling the expanding surface area with water. Where would the extra mass come from. Why would we not see such an expansion today and instead see continental movement in line with continental drift mechanics?
NASA Research Confirms it’s a Small World, After All
https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/earth20110816.htmlNow a new NASA study, published recently in Geophysical Research Letters, has essentially laid those speculations to rest. Using a cadre of space measurement tools and a new data calculation technique, the team detected no statistically significant expansion of the solid Earth.
Australia on the move: how GPS keeps up with a continent in constant motion
http://theconversation.com/australia-on-the-move-how-gps-keeps-up-with-a-continent-in-constant-motion-71883The Australian continent, perched on the planet’s fastest moving tectonic plate, is drifting at about seven centimetres a year to the northeast. This is taking features marked on our maps out of line with the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as GPS.
Why we wouldn't see expansion today has no clear answer. But consider. We don't know that much about the distant past.
For example, the Bible at least suggests that the earth was created with a canopy of water around it. If there was a form of water canopy around the earth before the Great Flood times as the Bible suggests, C-14 may not have been formed in the atmosphere until after the canopy was removed in the Flood, and all carbon dating might be useless beyond a few hundred years back.
Then, there are those almost 400-year-old Greenland sharks -

One thought is that the Greenland shark longevity exists because of their deep-sea habitat that doesn't let harmful radiation penetrate to where they live. This potentially backs up the ages of pre-flood people that lived under the biblical canopy.
The point is, we don't know very much about the past of the earth beyond what was reported as recorded history by those who observed and recorded it. Most of the scientific observations that are based on backward extrapolation are only guesswork, because we don't know what things might have happened in the distant past, that are not visible today.
Certainly Neal Adams' pangea video is something that shows the earth fitting together with a much smaller amount of water... somewhat like a puzzle. And, the puzzle pieces fit together on any world map, although it might take a little time to do the condensing one's self.
The only thing is the big "how and why" thing. There is simply a lot we don't know, and a lot that is suggested to be truth when it is not known to be even near truth.
