Hot Rocks Keep Folks High & Dry

Apparently, the heat from rocks in the Earth's core elevates the continents above sea level otherwise North Americer would be under water. Speculation... is the Earth's core heat increased above typical because of the moon forming collision? Would other more 'normal' planets be covered in water without floating continents?
