  1. The least moving continent would be very hard to predict, but would most likely be Africa. Comparisons:

  2. (A wise man once said:  "Patience grasshopper!")

    Well, there could be a couple of different answers.

    (1) Europe.  This is because the Prime Meridian is defined by Greenwich Observatory, which is in Europe.  So, no matter which way Europe appears to move, it will always be at "zero" and everything else will have a location that varies.

    (2) Antarctica.  This is because it is completely surrounded by plate boundaries that are spreading centers.  Thus, every continent on neighboring plates is moving away from it, and it appears to be stationary over the South Pole.
