the Mid-Ocean Ridge.

Sometimes plate boundaries coincide with those of the continental landmass, the majority do not. Subduction zones such as those around the Pacific are located offshore and influence the shape of South America - the Chile-Peru trench, Alaska, Japan etc. In the Atlantic it is the opening of the Atlantic that is mirrored by South America and Africa, whilst the Mediterranean Sea is dying as Africa slowly pushes into Europe.
