The reason continents move is because in the earth there are plates. The plates move because in the upper mantle (lithosphere) is hot liquid and it shoots up and shift the plates.
upward
all continents were separated by plates separating them.
Due to the theory of Continental drift where the plates that the continents are on are moved by currents.
because of tectonic plates
No. There can be multiple plates within one continent.
No, there are several more plates than continents (twelve I think) and the plates include both oceans and land. Earthquakes are the result of plates moving, but don't worry, plates do not move fast, only about a centimeter a year.
Tectonic plates.
the plates surrounding the continents
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents

Tectonic Plates can't carry both ocean floor and continents on the same plate.
Tectonic plates.
Plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents because there are 7 major plates in the world. These plates are being moved by sea-floor spreading, pulling the continents along with them.
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
When the plates drift apart through sea floor spreading, so do the continents
Continental Drift happened, when the tectonic plates in the earth shifted, and pushed the lithosphere up, causing our continents to split.
