lithospheric plate motion.
The sizes, shapes, and positions of continents are changed by the movement of tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle, causing them to drift and collide over millions of years. This movement results in continental drift, leading to the formation of new landmasses, mountain ranges, and ocean basins.
The sizes, shapes, and positions of Earth's continents and oceans are changed by the movement of tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them, causing them to constantly shift and interact, leading to the creation of mountains, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the reshaping of the Earth's surface.
A Mercator projection map would be useful for comparing the sizes of continents as it preserves the shapes of continents but distorts their sizes, making it easier to visually compare.
The Robinson projection splits the Earth's oceans apart in order to more accurately represent the sizes and shapes of the continents. This projection is a compromise projection that tries to balance the accurate representation of both landmasses and oceans.
The Robinson projection is known for balancing the distortion of shape and size, so both the shapes and sizes of continents and waterways are generally portrayed more accurately compared to other map projections. It is a compromise projection that tries to display the world in a way that is visually appealing while minimizing distortions.
One reason is because the Coastlines of land masses change over time. If you map the edges of the continental shelves, the fit is much better.

Im afraid not, what we can not see is how long they stretch under water.
Texture.
You can see the relative sizes and shapes in the illustration at the related link below.
The sizes,shapes,and positions of the grains that make up a rock.
The bifocals have changed alot since they were first invented. They have changed into different sizes, shapes and forms. They had also changed into sunglasses.:)
Cells are different shapes and sizes because they have different functions. The functions dictate the shapes and sizes.
Any number from 2 to 10, depending on their relative shapes, sizes and positions.
