The Continents Don't Move

...the outer portions of the basalt layer became solid and the wandering continents came to rest, frozen in place with the oceans between them. In spite of theories to the contrary, the weight of geologic evidence seems to be that the locations of the major ocean basins and the major continental land masses are today much the same as they have been since a very early period of the earth's history.
