| Dec 8, 2020 at 1:31 | comment | added | JBH | Whether or not this is believable has more to do with the planetary characteristics than any comparison to Earth. If your core is cooler or the mantle thicker, then this would work great so long as we ignore where all the fault lines are and the nature of each line. Can you edit your question to tell us about your world? Mass? Age? Core makeup? Rotation speed? Are there nearby gravity wells? Distance from the sun? I'm sorry that seems like a lot, but plate tectonics depend on a lot of variables. Some would do, I think. | |

| Dec 8, 2020 at 1:00 | comment | added | AlexP | Why would you care about nine hundred million years? Earth's most recent supercontinent, Pangaea, only began to break apart 175 million years ago, after enduring for about 150 million years; whatever was before, was before. (And note that 175 million years ago all the Earth's continent were joined together. That one fifth of the timespan asked in this question.) | |
