People generally do not notice that the continents drift because they move so slowly. People do notice earthquakes and other natural disasters that are sometimes caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates.
Because they move so slowly that we can't feel it. It's a bit like why we can't feel the earth turning
le continetal drift is explains by the position of the continents.
All paleontologists,(and other people), notice that on every continent, there were similar fossils. Obviously, not all prehistoric/Precambrian organisms could swim all the way across oceans, so the continents had to have moved. This proved Wegener's hypothesis(some really old scientist i learned about in science class)which was continental drift.
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.

the Continental Drift Theory is the slow movement of the Earths continents. A.K.A the continents drift

Geothermal Drift.
Its the whole idea of "continental drift." In this process tectonics plates spread apart making the continents drift.
The slow movement of continents is known as plate tectonics. This process involves the movement and interaction of large sections of the Earth's outer shell, or plates, over time. Plate tectonics is responsible for shaping the Earth's surface through processes such as sea floor spreading, subduction, and continental drift.
