At the scale involved (continent sized) even solid rock is flexible to expand or contract a couple cm/year. Also many plates are being pushed under other plates, particularly around the Pacific.

Don't worry, the plates will slide under each other, crunch up against each other to form mountains and so forth. >I don't believe that measurement. Well, the measurements don't believe in you. >The alternative is that everything has been where it is at since the beginning. We know that is wrong from the geologic records.
