Plate Activity causes it to move.
from north to south
The continents move due to plate tectonics, which is the movement of the Earth's lithosphere plates on the asthenosphere beneath them. This movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle, leading to the drifting of continents over millions of years.

Continental drift.
Because of plate techtonics
by how the nature moved
They now think that the continents are moving because of tectonic plates and how they move, or drift, apart.
The idea that continents move slowly across the earth's surface is called the continental drift.
