Look into Peleg.
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
The line of Shem...Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Peleg is supposed to have lived to the age of 239 years.

If Pangaea was a thing the slow division happened during the life of Peleg (and perhaps continued a short time after he died as well, IMO) after the flood happened.
How far could a giant (or a group of giants {Rephaim, Emim and Zamzummim}) walk in a day?
Were they already in "America" when the earth was divided?

Just something to think about. I know I have.
Of course, you'll be told by mainstream "thought" that the division of continents took thousands of years to finish and happened millions of years ago so tread carefully.

Interesting. Because I was just wondering about that because of David and Goliath for instance which was after the flood. So the question is, what was the decendency of Goliath if the lineage was destroyed by the flood.

Again, since this area is unfamilar to me, I consult my study Bible.

Genesis 6:4

Thete were giants in the Earth in those days (as a result of the union of the fallen angels with the “daughters of men”); and also after that (”those days” speak of the time before the flood, while “also after that” speaks of the time after the flood; in fact, Goliath, who was killed by David, was one of those specimens), when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown (these terms, “mighty men, men of renown” shoot down the hypothesis of these terms referring merely to the lineage of Seth and the lineage of Cain).

Again from study notes-

Genesis 10:25 (just the study notes)

(Shem was in the lineage of the Promised Seed, so out of Shemultimatly sprang Jesus, the Plant of Renown [Ezek. 34:29; Lk. 3:36]. The Earth being divided in the days of Peleg refers to the time of the Tower of Babel, and the confusion of the languages by God. The name “peleg” means “division.” It refers here to language being divided, rather then land being divided.)
