Why do the continents and ocean floors move?
Although it seems impossible, the continents and sea floor form a series of plates that float on the Earth's mantle. The mantle is heated form below (the core of the Earth is molten) and this causes the mantle to convect (like a boiling pan of thick soup). The convention happens only very slowly but as it does it moves the surface plates about. The plates move at about the speed your fingernails grow.

How much do the continents move per year?
The continents move at different rates, but on average they move at about 2.5 centimeters per year. This movement is due to the shifting of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
