WI the continents were shaped differently?

i dont think you could get the continents to be like that in the same shape they are now, that would need an asb. also the pod would be during the formation of our planet when the crust either forms from molton slag in space or when pangea broke up, not the big bang.
 
So a Eurasia sized Continent that crosses the Equator, and a Americas sized continent laying E/W in the Northern Hemisphere. Suppose that Africa & Australian sized are in the South. With various

A Lot would depend on how close there were to each other.Asia is 6000 miles N/S, Americas is 12,000 N/S, leaving you with 6~7,000 miles to split between your East & West Oceans.

Also as the Americas are 45o Wide,were are your N & S Shores, 30o for the South Shore gives it a pleasant semi Tropical Climate but gives your North Shore Siberia conditions.
Conversely Temperate 50o for your North Shore gives you a Tropical South Shore.

Having said all that, Jarad's -Guns, Germs & Steel - [Discussed a lot on this Board] Says that your E/W continent will develop Fastest.
