Yes, this is possible, and this is what is happening; it is known as continental drift. North America is currently moving away from Europe (and Africa) at a rate of a couple of millimeters per year. Continents do not move dramatically over a short period of time. There has to be perhaps a hundred million years before a noticeable difference.
