Kontinentalplatte
Kontinentalplatten are large, rigid segments of the Earth's lithosphere, which comprises the crust and the uppermost mantle. These plates are not static but rather float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The movement of these plates, known as plate tectonics, is driven by convection currents within the Earth's mantle.
The Earth's lithosphere is broken into numerous continental and oceanic plates. Continental plates are thicker and
The boundaries between these plates are zones of intense geological activity. When plates collide, they can
