The earth's core is constantly vibrating, which shifts all the magma around it. As the magma moves, and circulates, it moves the tectonic plates on top. As the plates move, the continents go with it. Most of the time, two plates will collide with each other and one will go underneath. That rock melts and goes down to the bottom because it is cooler than the rest of the rock. Therefore, to hotter rock goes up. The magma is like an escalator for the plates on top, they are moving because the magma underneath is also moving.
The continents formed through a process called plate tectonics, where the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that move and interact. Over millions of years, these plates collided, separated, and rearranged, resulting in the continents shifting and merging to form the land masses we see today.
The continents that form the boundary of the Mediterranean Sea are Europe to the north, Asia to the east, and Africa to the south.
Continents are landmasses and by definition have some form of water surrounding them. There are no continents without any water around them.
No, the continents are not moving back into the form of Pangea. The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is complex and constantly changing. While some continents are moving closer together due to plate tectonics, the formation of a new supercontinent similar to Pangea is not predicted in the near future.
The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by three continents: Europe to the north, Asia to the east, and Africa to the south.
The two continents that formed after Pangaea split were Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south. These two supercontinents eventually broke apart further to form the continents we have today.

No. Its through paleomagnetism.
they form the 7 continents in this case.
It wasn't three continents it was all of them.
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
Tectonic plates are large sections of Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid mantle beneath them. The continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics, where tectonic plates collided, separated, or slid past each other over millions of years. This movement caused the continents to come together to form supercontinents, break apart, and drift to their current positions.
You know, continents are chunks of big landmasses. Therefore it is impossible to form continents in just 5 years.The best evidence is that, "why did the continents are still 7 even I'm now 13 years old?"Let's say that it takes millions to billions to trillions of years to form another continent.

god did on the first day
Yes. By that time there will be changes in position, but 20 million years will not be long enough to form a supercontinent. But some form of continents will "always" exist.
