If continental surfaces can move laterally what prevents them from going up and down?
Nothing is the answer.
For example, the Himalayan mountains have been rising higher (redundant I know).
Recommend not thinking about it too much. Coming down from ahigh may have environmental protection impact.
Note: Parallel question may be. Why don't undamaged ping-pong balls sink?

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
