Why do the continents and ocean floors move?

Although it seems impossible, the continents and sea floor form a series of plates that float on the Earth's mantle.

The convention happens only very slowly but as it does it moves the surface plates about. The plates move at about the speed your fingernails grow.

Why are there ocean basins continents and mountains?

Well, the Earth, like many other planets, is a ball of mostly molten metals & other minerals hurling through space. As these materials cooled & congealed, lighter ones on top, a crust was formed. Like ice on a river, there are thicker & thinner places. It can crack & break, due to movement underneath, allowing the liquid that supports it to come to the surface & harden. Enough movement can cause it to pile up in places, though over a large area, it's still relatively flat. Except for the spin induced equatorial bulge, the Earth is as round & smooth as a marble. Look at the moon - who's gravitational attraction causes the crust to rise & fall in it's passing - you don't see those jagged peaks sticking out anywhere, do you?
