I’m deciding between E or D.. because for E it’s saying it’s changing ocean currents, but I’m thinking does that mean the earths precipitation or their climate. Best go with E, hope this helps

Answer:

B.moving magma in the mantle

Explanation:

The continents have moved over millions of years. This is due to global convection in the earth's mantle. Since new material continuously comes out of the mantle below the oceanic crust. Thus, a force is created that pushes the areas occupied by the continents, displacing them.
