Do the Continents really move?

Yes, the continents and oceans are constantly moving on the Earth's crust. More than 200 million years ago, the continents were joined in one huge land mass, but over millions of years this drifted and separated into the seven main continents we know today: Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, Antarctica, North America and South America.
