I remember reading decades ago about crustal displacement. The idea really interested me, and I was surprised to see that even Einstien had given the idea a thumbs up at the time.
I do wonder however if plate tectonics actually might keep a crustal shift from happening. In other words: if there were no individual plates, and the Earth's crust was one single piece, would a geological shift be more likely?
