The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as <u>plate tectonics,</u> also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not include answers, we can say the following.

Tori is studying for her Introduction to Philosophy course and wants to create a mind map to help her remember the classical Greek philosophers and their basic philosophical principles. What Tori should do when she sits down to draw her mind map is "Write her main idea in the center of the page, and then add major categories that branch out from the center."

That is the best way to proceed if you want to draw her mind map. For that to happen, Tori has to go look at the best information available for the map. So Tori has to collect information from primary or secondary resources and try to edit the main ideas that fit in Tori's concept of a mind map.
