Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.
The world's tectonic plates are ever changing moving by centermetres every year. This moves

Tectonic plates. The movement of tectonic plates can lead to geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges, reshaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.
The Himalayas are constantly being formed and changed through tectonic plates shifting under the Earth's surface. It is an extremely slow process which occurs over millions of years.

Enormous moving pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to geological events like earthquakes and volcanic activity. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.
It is when Earth's tectonic plates move around.
The tectonic plates slide together, causing an earthquake to erupt across the southern part of the state.

millions of years. The movement of tectonic plates can cause continents to drift apart or come together, leading to the formation or merging of landmasses over geologic timescales.
