Question

how are the continental plates formed and how are they eventually destroyed

Answer 1

Long years ago. The earth was there as a single continent. And it is surrounded by water.
The Continental plates formed because of the high pressure excerted from the molten lava of the earth. Because of high pressure the plates moved away... And that gap is filled with water.
These a long process. The change takes millions of years. And now we can see that single continent is divided into 7 continents.

Even now the continents are still moving.... But we can see a massive change after millions of years....

$\huge{\bold{\underline{Answer:}}}$

• According to geologists continents and oceans are actually situated on massive base of rocks called plates, that are floating on the mantle.

• Continental plates are formed due to the activities like sea floor spreading in which the lava raising up from the mantle are hardened into rock creating new rocks.

• These plates are constantly pushed and therefore keep moving slowly.

• This movement of plates is called plate tectonics.

• While this movement continues, they pushes/collide each other, a lot of pressure is excreted by each of them on the other.

• The plate thus going under into the mantle becomes molten.

• It actually pulls the rest of the plate in to the mantle. Thus the plate is destroyed.
