Under the "Powers of the Fates" section on this page the Fates have these three abilities:
- Sleep Manipulation (The Sisters of Fate Can easily wake up people with a mere tug on their Threads of Fate[87])
- Magma Manipulation (The Sisters of Fate are Able to control the eruption of a volcano and its lava flow via the Threads that they themselves weave[82])
- Earth Manipulation (The Sisters of Fate sunk a continent just because they could,[85] stating yet again that they eliminate continents as part of their job[90])
The meaning of the text is clear, Atropos used war to sink a continent. This refers to the original Greek myth in which Plato wrote that after a failed attempt at invading Athens, Atlantis was sunk by the Gods. This is not the canon fate of Atlantis in GoW, but the text-as-written makes any other interpretation impossible, even if it is not canonical to GoW. In any case, that is not evidence of "Earth Manipulation" as there are many other ways to cause something to sink.
The second scan says that Lakhesis "eliminates continents." We could interpret this as her literally destroying a land mass the size of a continent, that seems perhaps unlikely in context but that's sort of a moot point. You don't need to use Earth Manipulation to destroy a continent. In fact, most of the time if someone is destroying a continent they are just using attack power or something.
