continents
The continents move on the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. This layer consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The movement of the continents is known as plate tectonics.
The continents are part of Earth's outermost layer called the crust. The crust is divided into large plates, known as tectonic plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle to form the Earth's surface.
The continents are part of Earth's tectonic plate system, when the plates move the continents move with them. The plate movement is driven by slow mantle convection driven by the heat in Earth's core.
