That's exactly the point. Look at a *globe*, not a map that's distorted 
by being flattened.  Canada is somewhat larger than the USA 
geographically speaking.  Africa is bigger than north america, but so is 
south america.  (Note it's south america and africa that were stuck 
together, not north america and south america. Of course, Noah's flood 
actually washed all the animals across the south atlantic from Africa to 
South America, which is the *real* reason they're the same after only 
4000 years.)
