	''Why does it move around, though, instead of just floating perfectly still?'' Well, primarily because of '''convection''': the natural cycling pattern formed by fluids of different densities -- most commonly because of uneven heating. Take a look at this cartoon beaker of water on a stove top:		''Why does it move around, though, instead of just floating perfectly still?''

 '''Now imagine a skin on the surface of the beaker above:''' the currents from the convection would pull it apart and push it off toward the side walls. Sort of like these chia seed continents in my kitchen:

 The plates on Earth move much like that, except there are no sides of the beaker or pot in a round world, so things are less static. I.e., instead of hitting the wall and staying, plates wrap around the planet and tend to keep bumping around and re-jostling into new positions continuously.
