How to tackle one or multiple submerged continents

A part of the story I am writing involves two continents that centuries before the story takes place sunk into the sea.

I want to have a way to explain this that does not come down to just the sea level rising high enough to swallow those continents, but rather the continents ''sinking'' as it were. Preferably without them ripping apart a la ''2012, Doomsday, Apocalypse, Atlantis'' type scenarios.

Is there any non magic way an entire continent could ''sink'' like this in a pretty rapid fashion?
