Misconception: The edge of a continent is the same thing as a plate boundary. There is a natural sensibility to Geologyâs Theory of Plate Tectonics. Obviously, continents have moved, because of the puzzle-like fit of the continent edges across the Atlantic Ocean.

Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earthâs crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14).
