they move because the earthquakes happen
The continents are situated on top of tectonic plates which float on the Earth's magma under the crust. This means that the plates move about, which means yes, the continents will move but it will be very, VERY slow.
They now think that the continents are moving because of tectonic plates and how they move, or drift, apart.
Tectonic forces.
The reason continents move is because in the earth there are plates. The plates move because in the upper mantle (lithosphere) is hot liquid and it shoots up and shift the plates.
plate tectonicts moved the continents awat from each other.
How where the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move to move the continents.
You can not DECIDE where to move continents, the movement of continents is a natural geological process, nothing man does can affect it.

continents
Continents move due to the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates can move and interact with each other, resulting in phenomena like the drifting of continents, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
A pole shift is not what causes the continents to move. It is the pressures from under the oceans' plates.
Plate Activity causes it to move.
they can increase or move the size of the continents
from north to south
They moved by plate tectonics. When continents move, they are resting on plates that glide.
The continents moved because of the tectonic plates of earth that they rest on.
