Believe it or not, the continents are still moving today—at about the same speed that your fingernails grow (around 2 to 5 centimeters per year)! This slow-motion shuffle, known as continental drift, is driven by tectonic plates floating on the molten layer beneath Earth's crust.

Continents Still on the Move
Africa and South America are gradually drifting apart, while India keeps pushing into Asia, causing the Himalayas to grow taller each year. In the distant future, scientists predict that all the continents might come back together to form a new supercontinent—think of it as Pangaea 2.0!

Real-Life Effects
Continental drift isn’t just a slow dance; it’s also responsible for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and even mountain formation. So, while we don’t see it day-to-day, the continents are constantly on the move, reshaping our world—one centimeter at a time!
