Continents are basically floating.
The force that moves the continents is known as plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of Earth's lithosphere (the outer layer of the Earth) on top of the asthenosphere (semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere). It causes the plates to shift, leading to the movement of continents over millions of years.
Ice ages do not "allow" any continents to migrate. Plate Tectonics is the process that moves the continents around.
The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, which make up the outer shell of the Earth, is responsible for moving the seafloor and continents. This movement is driven by processes such as mantle convection, where heat from the Earth's core causes the semi-fluid rock in the mantle to flow and create forces that push or pull the tectonic plates.
Since the continents ride on top of the plate tectonics, they move! They move from the heat inside the earth, the heat pushes the magma up, and as it comes in contact with the lithosphere it glides underneath it, then it cools and sinks down. Then it repeats.
There are 7 continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia (Oceania), and South America.
It actually does. It moves our oceans and continents everyday. You just don't notice it as the movements are very small.

magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
The mantle moves the continents, which is called continental drift.

sea floor spreading or divergent boudary
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.
it moves 1 to 2 centimeters a year the continents will probably form again
The Earth is a planet that rotates around the sun the solar system. The earthÕs moves on an axis and it moves eastward at a steady pace around the sun. The earth is self has power movement of plates which over thousands of years has created what we know of as our continents.
