Answer:
- the beginning probably all continents were held together.
- later the earth's lithosphere is broken up into several pieces just like the pieces of a large zigzag puzzle and continental places formed
- these pieces on which all continents and oceans are actually situated which are called plates.
- they float on the soft layer of the mantle.
- there are about 7 major plates and several minor plates on the earth.
- as the plate moves the push pull slide rise sink bend and break.
- sometimes one plate actually goes into the mantle of the earth and becomes molten due to the heat of the mantle.
- this is how some plate are eventually destroyed
