    You can't automatically generate the outlines of the continents as far as I know. You'll have to pause the animation at certain intervals (20 million years, for example) and manually draw them if you want that.

    However, it does have the flowlines feature, which allows you to find out the location of the ridge. I'll try to post something about using flowlines when I have a bit more time (it's been a while since I last used GPlates, so I need to refresh my memory a bit), but the GPlates tutorial on them is a good place to start.
