Earth, without water, is a giant ball of rock. It is full of enormous valleys, mountains, plateaus, etc. However, with water, most of these valleys and trenches are covered in water, being invisible. Continents are the largest exposed area of the Earth. The continents all used to be connected, forming the largest supercontinent ever: Pangea. However, due to continental drift [which is just what it sounds like], Pangea split eventually forming the 7 continents of today.

Is it possible for continents to form in just five years?
You know, continents are chunks of big landmasses. Therefore it is impossible to form continents in just 5 years.The best evidence is that, "why did the continents are still 7 even I'm now 13 years old?"Let's say that it takes millions to billions to trillions of years to form another continent.

Will there be continents in 20 millon years?
Yes. By that time there will be changes in position, but 20 million years will not be long enough to form a supercontinent. But some form of continents will "always" exist.
