    Surprisingly, plate tectonics is a relatively new field of study and wasn't accepted until 1965, and before that, there was a nebulous contiential drift theory proposed in the 1910s. And of course, curriculums and books lagged behind that.

    That also means that Geologists have been reverse engineering plate tectonics since then and there are several diverging theories as to where things were at different geoglical eras after going back far enough.

    A tweet from 2019 where someone did a time travel campaign, but accidentally added a mountain that wasn't there in the present. The players were wondering what happened to the mountain, and the DM was wondering that too. Eventually, they ran a poll, and decided it got up and walked away.

    This community, back on reddit, went absolutely nuts over that. There were a LOT of memes.
