Answer: the correct options are

- were once connected

- are slowly drifting

Explanation: The continent is the main land mass of the earth which includes the following:

- Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, North America, South America, and Antarctica.

These continents were once connected forming a supercontinent called PANGAEA

during the late palaeozoic and early mesozoic eras, millions of years ago.

Alfred Wegener, who is a German meteorologist, in 1912 came up with a hypothesis that the continents are slowly drifting the earth. He called the movement continental drift.

The continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates. The plates are always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics. In recent studies, through the science of plate tectonics, we where able to understand the mechanism through which continental drift occurs. The mechanism includes:

- processes of seafloor spreading,

- rift valley formation, and

- subduction (where heavier tectonic plates sink beneath lighter ones).

Answer:

5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.

7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.

8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
