@markzzz_153: Continents are large landmasses that sit on tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving, albeit very slowly, at a rate of a few centimeters per year. This movement is caused by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for the formation of continents, mountain ranges, and even earthquakes and volcanoes. The theory that explains this is called plate tectonics. #foryou #tiktok #pyppppppppppppp #tectonicplates
