Short Answer

Solution

Yes, both continents and oceans lie on tectonic plates. These plates are large, rigid sections of the Earth’s lithosphere that include both continental crust (landmasses) and oceanic crust (sea floors). As the plates move slowly over time, they cause geological activities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents and ocean basins.
