So imagine a world that's been going through a huge amount of natural disasters and then a full-scale nuclear war - how would the continents change ? What new ones would arise ?

Nuclear war would have more climate implications than it would continental. That said there's a whole gambit of possibilities. Concentrated bombardment of a mountain region could result in mountain areas being turned into high altitude valleys, isolated from the rest of the world. Underground detonations could result in cause a drop of global sea levels pushing out the coast lines as sea. Much of it would be land similar to the salt flats in Utah.

There's several different possible scenarios for detonations, high altitude, land impact, underwater detonation....All of these have varying implications based on the climate zone, how thin the ozone layer is. There's a good website on the consequences of nuclear war here. Try and think about the far reaching implications of each scenario. How long after a nuclear cataclysm are we talking?
