Which of the following options correctly describes the basic process of continent formation from the various structural components?
A) Continental Drift: The movement of tectonic plates causes continents to separate or collide, leading to the formation of new landmasses.
B) Volcanic Activity: The eruption of volcanoes releases molten rock, which cools and solidifies to form new landmasses.
C) Erosion and Deposition: The gradual wearing away of rocks and soil by natural forces, such as wind and water, leads to the accumulation of sediment and the formation of continents.
D) Plate Tectonics: The movement and interaction of Earth's lithospheric plates result in the formation of continents through processes like subduction and collision.
