The shapes of continents appearing on the map clearly show similar shapes and how the continents might fit together.

The shapes of continents do not fit together exactly because they have been moving and shifting over millions of years due to plate tectonics. This movement has caused the continents to break apart and drift apart from each other, resulting in their current shapes. Additionally, erosion and other geological processes have also altered the original shapes of the continents.
yes. mountains do change their shapes. when two large masses or continents called tectonic plates exert pressure on each other where the mountain ranges are present they become taller.
