  • 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.
