OK, now that really *is* counter-intuitive. On a map, it looks like the
coast of Africa and America would "fit together" if you moved a few
tectonic plates around. But this diagram shows that America is many
times smaller than Africa, so this would be quite impossible.
This is puzzling, since I thought that Africa *was* connected to America
in the fairly recent geological past...
