Kuruharan, I see your point about the event being so catastrophic that all of Beleriand sank. But if the effects on the plate(s) underneath the Sea of Helcar were so powerful, then the rest of Middle-earth would have also been changed, and we don't have any sources stating that. If the plate action was that strong, then a couple of other rifts should have opened up in Eriador, and caused even MORE destruction there. We haven't heard anything about that.
