According to the report, our Earth is a living and breathing planet. Scientists added that it has a life of its own and keeps on changing physically. They said that we know that the tectonic plates move horizontally, but studies have shown that these plates have also moved vertically, causing the continents to rise. Though the process is slow and has been taking place for millions of years, researchers are intrigued. The report said that the researchers had found a plausible theory behind the phenomena. They He suggested that the breaking of the tectonic plates may be causing powerful waves that lead the continents to rise by over a 1 kilometer.
The report pointed out that the higher drifts like that around South Africa could be due to the rifts and splitting of continents over time. It was also explained by them that the inner parts of continents, far from such escarpments, rise and become eroded has proven much more challenging.
The report concluded that the study found out that when continents split, their crust is stretched which results in a sweeping motion affecting the base of the continent.
