Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift. Our planet looks very different from the way it did 250 million years ago, when there was only one continent, called Pangaea, and one ocean, called Panthalassa.
Detailed explanation-2: -Today, we know that the continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates. The plates are always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics. The continents are still moving today.
