I used to study physics, but now I write.Have you studied any physics, Fermer?
Formation and drift of continents.
Nanotechnology Society of Russia. https://rusnor.org/pubs/articles/28319.htm
The Earth's crust, in the early stages of its evolution, was boiling magma, the poles of which, after a decrease in axial velocity and as a consequence of the Earth's geological activity, began to cool.
Then, the cooled magma in the form of continents, under the action of centrifugal forces, began to drift from the poles to the equator.
Then the continents, under the influence of the western transfer of the atmosphere along the hot magma, floated from west to east - like an iceberg in the ocean. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg
As soon as the crust formed at the poles of the Earth, magmatic gases began to accumulate under the crust, due to which geological activity of the continents began, and the buoyancy of the continents also increased.
The height of the continents above the magma level increases due to faults and microcracks that form as a result of explosions of magmatic gases.
Magmatic gases, collecting between the earth's crust and magma, form a gas layer (foam), due to which the earth's crust does not overheat and the magma does not cool.
The geological activity of planets depends on their axial and orbital speeds, as well as their diameter and distance from the Sun. The speed of magma circulation also contributes. https://bigenc.ru/c/pemza-310720
The main reason for continental drift is the polar winds, which constantly move towards the equator, and today the polar winds, with an average annual speed of 20 m/s, and in gusts of more than 100 m/s, move huge icebergs towards the equator.
On Neptune, the wind speed reaches 600 m/s.
The continents drift also due to the imbalance between centrifugal and gravitational forces, and the greater the axial velocity of the Earth, the greater the imbalance of centrifugal and gravitational forces.
The polar compression of the Earth also contributes.
If the water in which an iceberg is drifting at a speed of 15 cm/year freezes, by how much will the speed of the iceberg decrease?

The area of the continents of the Southern Hemisphere is much smaller than that of the Northern Hemisphere.
It is possible that Antarctica, due to early and high geological activity, did not completely leave the pole.
There is a high probability that Australia, drifting from west to east, also "rotated" around its axis.

The Arctic, drifting towards the equator, split into two continents - Eurasia and North America, between which the Pacific and Atlantic oceans appeared.
As Eurasia moved south, Scandinavia fell behind Eurasia, resulting in the formation of the Baltic Sea.
Victoria Island also lagged behind North America.
I believe that North America, Baffin Island, Greenland and Scandinavia were close together as they moved towards the equator.

When the hot Earth cooled and became covered with a crust, pressure appeared in the bowels of the Earth due to the degassing of magma, and as a result, cracks formed on the Earth, from which mountain systems and ocean ridges then grew.
The low geological activity of the ocean ridges and the ocean floor is explained by the fact that water penetrates into the faults and microcracks of the ocean ridges and the ocean floor.
Having penetrated the faults, water displaces magmatic gases from the faults, thereby reducing the geological activity of ocean ridges and the ocean floor, due to which the thickness of the oceanic crust does not increase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_crust
As the Earth cooled, the average air temperature on Earth dropped to 20 degrees, resulting in favorable climatic conditions for the emergence of life.
The first plants and animals appeared on Earth beyond the Arctic Circle and high in the mountains; in the middle latitudes and at the equator, due to high temperatures, conditions for the emergence of life remained unfavorable.
As the Earth's axial velocity decreased, the Earth's geological activity also decreased, causing the average air temperature on Earth to drop from 20 to 15 degrees.
When the air temperature dropped to 15 degrees, due to the cold snap, animals from the Arctic and highland regions migrated to the middle latitudes, and the vegetation and the Arctic Ocean froze.
Temperatures in the Arctic Circle could have dropped even after the tilt of the Earth's axis decreased from 30 to 23 degrees. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origine_de_la_vie
According to the three-body problem, the "sharp cooling" on Earth occurred when the Moon formed from the Earth's rings, causing the axial velocity to decrease, and as a consequence, the Earth's geological activity to decrease.
After the Earth's geological activity decreased, the average air temperature on Earth also decreased.
According to the law of interaction of three bodies: The Earth is rotated by the western transfer of the atmosphere, then the axial velocity of the Earth is transformed into the orbital velocity of the Earth, then the orbital velocity of the Earth is transformed into the axial and orbital velocity of the Moon.
If the kinetic energy of the Earth's rotation did not transform into orbital energy, the Earth would continue to gain momentum and capsize. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem
During the formation of the continents, ocean basins were also formed, in which rainwater began to collect as the Earth cooled.
The torrential rains that fell continuously for millions of years during the early stages of the formation of the earth's crust also contributed to the formation of the earth's crust, changing the landscape of mountains and plains beyond recognition.
It is possible that lakes, bays and rivers are the result of heavy rains.
During periods of heavy rainfall, sediment carried by ocean currents could settle near groups of volcanic islands.
The amount of sediment in water depends on the axial and orbital velocity of the Earth, on the speed of movement of water and air masses, and also on the speed of rotation of whirlpools.
It is possible that the vertical movement of ocean waters occurs due to whirlpools, which, having the properties of a gyroscope, maintain the vertical position of the axis in space regardless of the rotation of the Earth, and as a result contribute to the formation of continents and oceans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch
