No, the continents and ocean basins are located on the lithosphere, which is the rigid outer layer of the Earth. The asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere.
The movement of Earth's plates and continents can cause changes in sea level, ocean currents, and the distribution of marine life. It can also affect the shape of ocean basins and the location of coastlines.

The continent of South America was formed when North and South America split from each other over 65 million years ago. North America is located in the Northern hemisphere and South America is located in the Southern hemisphere.
Pangaea broke apart due to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. This movement, called plate tectonics, caused the continents to drift apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of the current continents and ocean basins.
The movement of continents has influenced Earth's climate change through plate tectonics altering ocean currents, affecting wind patterns, and impacting the distribution of landmasses. For example, the collision of continents can create mountain ranges that affect air circulation and precipitation patterns, leading to regional climate changes. Additionally, the breakup of continents can open up new ocean basins, which can influence global climate through changes in ocean circulation.
In ocean basins
Most plate boundaries are located in ocean basins rather than on continents. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, leading to subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges where most of the plate boundaries are found in the oceans.

Yes. Wind Belts, The Coriolis Effect, and the Position of the Continents all influence the ocean basins patterns
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
