Answer:
Continental drift describes one of the earliest ways geologists thought continents moved over time. Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.
The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift.
First we have to calculate the time taken to travel the distance 30 m, is
.
Now from equation of motion,

Given,
.
As object starts from rest, so u = 0.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Thus, the acceleration is 
Elevation would be showing you what height you are at, energy would be like what force your putting into the object.
Answer:
constant at the speed of light
