It is just a rebalance. The plate moved. Shifted the axis, the movement of the planet and plates cause a rebalance.
This is something that happens over the course of tens of thousands of years, it's not like one day a continent just disappears.
What do you even mean? You can totally tilt a sphere.
Dinosaurs floating in space would be kinda cool tho.It's obvious what happened.
Probably not it would have been a gradual change both ways. The Earth's axis has been changing all through history

OP has misinterpreted a bit. The article discusses the subduction of the Pacific plate, which doesn't have any continents on it. Bit of background: we can think of the tectonic plates (both continental and oceanic; the lithosphere) as "floating" on the viscous upper mantle (the asthenosphere). Subduction is when the edge of one of these plates pushes up against and sinks underneath the edge of another, due to differences in density (the more dense plate sinks). This is a very slow process that is measured in tens of millimetres per year. In the case of the Pacific plate, it is currently subducting along sections of its western boundary (the Marianas trench is one of these zones) and in the north, creating the Aleutian islands.

Look at my man JRR ! Pleasing both flat earthers and scientists !
Reminds me of Conspiracy X, a table top game. In it the extinction of the dinosaurs weren't cause by a meteor. It was cause by reptilians that evolved along side the dinos testing their warp drive. It fucked it and sucked them into a black hole pocket dimension, and it been slowly spitting them back out. Of course they want their old hood back.
Gonna have to pass on that Tampa weather. It's called the Lightning Capital of America for a reason, you know.
