- 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.
