What forces makes the plates collide you may ask? Well, it's the radioactive decay of Iron itself deep within the earth's core that's causing the plates to move & eventually collide. And since plates move whether oceanic or continental, then it also means that continents move a.k.a. "continental drift." Meaning, all continents of the world has been moving [drifting] since time-immemorial (i.e. millions of years!) leading to its present-day configuration. But if you look at the Atlantic coast of the America's, it perfectly matches the Atlantic coast of Africa & Europe like that of a jig-saw puzzle. In fact, all of the continents are simply just one BIG jig-saw puzzle that broke-up long time ago if you look at them carefully. Indeed, they all match each other when pieced together.
