Yes, plate tectonics is recent. But it explains how continents move. The comics says that before 1967, no thought they moved at all. Which is false.

This is just wrong though. The theory of continental drift was proposed hundreds of years ago. We just didn’t know how it happened. Plate tectonics is just the mechanism that explains it.
Just like people knew that they needed to breath to survive for a long time before we knew that it was because there was oxygen in the air that our cells needed to under go cellular respiration.
