rock
The plates are actively spreading submarine ridges in the middle of the oceans, subduction zones in ocean trenches or mountain ranges on the continents, or margins where the plates slide past one another. Most of the world's earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.

Day labor was made up of day laborers and domestic servants who were mostly women.
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
continents or eurasia
Continental Crust is the layer of rocks that forms the continents and continental shelves. It is mostly made of granite or granitic rock.
The continents moved because of the tectonic plates of earth that they rest on.
No, continents and plates are not the same. Continents are large land masses that form the Earth's surface, while tectonic plates are pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Continents are located on top of tectonic plates and can be made up of one or more plates.

A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
the plates surrounding the continents
mostly made of basalt.
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
The Earth's tectonic plates are primarily made of solid rock, composed mostly of silicate minerals such as feldspar and quartz. These plates are rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
Tectonic plates.
Plates play a role in Pangaea changing into 7 continents because there are 7 major plates in the world. These plates are being moved by sea-floor spreading, pulling the continents along with them.
The continents and the ocean floor rest upon the plates.
