David;

Believe it or not, I am aware of the information in the article you linked. That's why I mentioned subduction as one of the forces involved. But you will note that tidal forces were not even mentioned in that article.

BTW, would you care to elaborate on how the tides could have broken up Pangea? Seems to me they would have kept it together.
