    $\begingroup$ It really matter how you want to reshape a the continent, change the position or entire border of the continent change the things that live on it all haver drastically different answers. , if you means drastically change its continental borders without reliquifling the planet you basically only have tectonic effects and global ice sheets and the latter can only sort of do it. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Volcanoes. I don't think they are "tectonic activity", although they sometimes are related. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am voting to close without more details beyond "reshape part of a continent" it is unanswerable. the OP could want anything from a change in biomes to splitting the continent in half. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Sorry for the late reply. To clarify, I was thinking of large changes like the creation (or disappearance) of mountain ranges or seas, or entire continents. While a change of biomes might be considered a big change, that's mostly linked to weather patterns, which is not what I'm looking for. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Again it depends on what you want to do, erosion can remove a mountain but tectonics is basically the only thing that can build one, sea level can create or remove seas, nothing can remove a continent and leave the rest of the planet intact. you really need to narrow down your question. $\endgroup$
