This just proves the whole idea is futile. In another 300 million years the wall will just be in the wrong place again !

That makes the tectonic plate drift even more interesting.

They all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. It is interesting that the theory of continental drift and Pangaea/Pangea didn't come around until 1915. Now, when you put them together it is obvious, so it was in plain site on maps until somebody, (Alfred Wegener) noticed it and then studied it.
