They currently ARE moving. 24/7 You see, the crust of the Earth is made of plates. Those plates move ever so slightly. But, over those 4 billion years, that movement is large.

Why do you think scientists study earths interior?

Scientists study Earth's interior to better understand the planet's composition, structure, and dynamics. This helps in predicting natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as in understanding processes like plate tectonics and magnetic field generation. Studying the Earth's interior also provides insights into the planet's history and evolution.

How do scientists think the oceans are likely to change in the future?

Along with ocean's forming is that the land mass was all those continents were connected at one time it was Pangaea.With time the Continents continued to separate.Today we know that the Continents are still moving apart from one another. We know that they move one or 10 centimeters every year. Since it moves some ocean's get bigger, but some Oceans as the Pacific Ocean gets smaller. With that i think all the continents will continue to move apart. They think that the oceans will rise, that can cause flooding and, because of the separating of the landmass there will also be earthquakes.
