Answer (2)
a tectonic plate is below the ocean, a continent is above
A large piece of Earth's crust that stands above the oceans is called a continent. Continents are made of less dense granitic rocks compared to the denser basaltic oceanic crust, allowing them to rise above sea level. They are part of the Earth's tectonic plates, which are in constant motion and play a vital role in geological processes.
