Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics is what brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading. Plates are made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth's surface by seafloor spreading. Convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be destroyed. If a continent sits on a plate with a mid-ocean ridge, the continent will be pushed along.

The theory of tectonic plates explains that large convectional currents occuring in the mantle(as a result of magma) are the reasons plates,and so continents,are moved. Note movement occurs in the boundary in between the plates.

There are also different types of epithelium found in different parts of the body. A typical example is the simple cuboidal epithelium.

Simple cuboidal epithelium are single layered epithelium that are as tall as they are wide (cuboidal in shape).

They are found lining areas that are active in secretion and absorption.

Therefore, the epithelium with a single layer of tall cells is classified as simple cuboidal epithelium.
