How have continents moved in the past?
Plate tectonics. Continents are the exposed (from the oceans) geological areas of tectonic plates. Continents can also be on top of more than one tectonic plate. When these plates move, continents move with them. Millions of years ago, continents were split apart and also created by tectonic plate movement.
Fossil evidence rocks and the shape of continents provide support for the theory of?
plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's outer shell. Fossil remains on separate continents that were once part of the same landmass suggest that continents were once connected and have since drifted apart. The shape of continents also fits together like a puzzle, supporting the idea of continental drift and plate tectonics.
How do continents gain their shape?
Continents gain their shape through a combination of tectonic plate movements and erosion processes. Plate tectonics cause continents to drift and collide, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, valleys, and other landforms that shape the continents. Erosion by water, wind, and ice further shapes the continents over time by wearing down and reshaping the land.

Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.

No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
