If you could control the movement of tectonic plates from Pangea to now or just remake it freely like Simcity with the same amount of land, what would be the ideal way to do it? (lemmy.zip)

I was thinking one band for most of it around the globe but to taper wider at the best climates for farming, leisure, surfing, etc., with other cool islands that would spell out my name or make a cool design to almost prove the existence of God /you by having the all the islands shaped like cats.

In this scenario you are a designer (watch maker) God who then turns into a person that has to live in the world they design

That would be possible, but depends on a shit ton of variables. It could just as easily be a giant rainforest full of massive lakes and rivers.

I believe Aussie is so dry inland, because one single tectonic plate can't really make mountains, so it's all flat and what water make it there just evaporate.

Multiple plates jammed together gets huge mountain ranges, which means slopw for rivers and maybe even snow melt that flows down.
