I know what the shelf is shallow water around continent showing where the sea has encroached on the old land. Pangea says only the east was connected, not the west. It is clear all land masses were connected and have drifted apart. I wonder if Neal Adams accounted for shelves in his model? I presume so. While the principle of expansion would still be in evidence, if Neal omitted the shelves then the expansion would not have been quite as much.
As for the off-centre Earth of Pangea. Let's remove the ocean. We have a very lop-sided Earth do we not? How to account for this?
Earth is not a hard asteroid. It is mobile, mostly molten, and tends to spherical.
Water being much less dense merely distributes about the CoG
