Continents were formed through the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large, solid plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. These plates move and interact with each other, leading to the formation of various landmasses and continents over millions of years. The shaping of continents also involves processes like volcanic activity, erosion, and sedimentation.
