Why did earths continents shift?

They didn't. If you take out all the water from the seas and ocean, you would see the continents are still connected by land (save for the faults).

They would fit roughly together but not perfectly due to years and years of erosion. As evident as Africa and So. America are that they were once joined. Erosion does not work. Even with that they will not fit. Try it with cut outs. But shrink the size of the earths sphere to about 1/2 its size today and they fit perfect.
