An environmental change is occurring due to continents shifting and moving to different parts of Earth's surface. What kind of change is this?

a short-term change due to tectonic plate movement

a long-term change due to tectonic plate movement

a short-term change due to increasing levels of solar energy

a long-term change due to increasing levels of solar energy

a long-term change due to tectonic plate movement

Explanation:

This is most definitely a long term change lest more movements among tectonic plates occur, hence eliminating the first and third options. This is surely not due to solar energy, but rather because of internal movements in the inner core and mantle, which in turn move the tectonic plates, which eliminates the last option.

Answer: a long-term change due to tectonic plate movement
