Well the topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.

The main source of heat of the earth that keeps plasticity the mantle is earth’s radioactive core. The part of the mantle close to the core is hotter than that closer to the crust. Therefore, the mantle has convectional currents. These currents drag with them the earth crust above and hence tectonic plate movements. At convergent boundaries, the earth's crust is pressed onto one another to form fold mountains such as the Himalayas. At divergent boundaries, faulting occurs and the subsequent crust depression is filled with water to form oceans.

With the rise of nation-states, new countries discovered nationalism, or a pride in common ethnic heritages, cultures, and belie
timurjin [86]
It is certainly true that nationalism has its upsides. A national consciousness led to the creation of states (instead of feudal regions or city-states) and remembering traditions and your history is important because it connects you to other people. However, being a national means identifying as something; hence , you are different from others. At some points, nationalism leads to despising other populations either because they are different and have different traditions or because they are simply unknown to us. In its worst instances, nationalism has led to nazism and genocide; the notion that a nation is better than another is the start of such actions. Hence, it is important that despite having a proud knowledge of our history and our identity, we also reach out towards other cultures, accept them and learn from them.
