Explanation:

A geological process occurring at tectonic plate's convergent boundaries is a subduction process. In this process one plate moves beneath another plate and this makes to sink because of presence of gravity in the mantle.

The zone in which this process occurs is called as subduction zones. A stable subduction zone is one that involves the plates the oceanic lithosphere to slide beneath the continental of another plate because of the oceanic lithosphere's high density.

Posits that continents were once part of a super continent and then broke apart.
Posits that continents will keep moving until they collide again to form another super continent after which they will then break apart.
