I'm not sure how to spell it but it' called Pangaea and if you want more info on it go to this website: Plate tectonics - Encyclopedia of Earth Just so you know I'm only 8 and I even know this. It is OBVIOUS!
Convection in the Earth's mantle drives the movement of tectonic plates, which are responsible for the arrangement of continents on Earth's surface. As the mantle moves due to convection currents, it causes tectonic plates to collide, separate, or slide past each other, leading to the formation of continents as we see them today.
The process that causes the changes in the location of Earth's continents over time is called plate tectonics. It involves the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates on the asthenosphere beneath them. This movement leads to the shifting of continents, known as continental drift, as well as the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface through a process called solar radiation. This heat causes water to change states by evaporating into water vapor, condensing into clouds, and eventually returning to the surface as precipitation.
The Coriolis effect causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the Earth's surface. This effect is the result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912. He suggested that the thermal convection currents in the mantle were responsible for the movement of continents across the Earth's surface.

convection
Surface ocean currents flow in a circular pattern due to a combination of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the shape of the continents. The Coriolis effect causes water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the circular motion of currents. This, along with the shape of the coastlines, influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.

This is caused by Earth's rotation.
When any continents bash in together, there is most likely to be an earthquake. When Earths crust bash against each other, there is an earthquake which sometimes causes sunamis. If that happens to Earth's crust, why not to continents?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
