 Stephen H. Daniel (ed.) - Current Continental Theory and Modern Philosophy - Reviewed by Theodore R. Schatzki, ...
Whereas "continental" philosophers often pursue philosophical issues by working with and through the ideas of past thinkers, "analytic" philosophers infrequently do this, instead viewing history as a distinct subfield with little to contribute on current issues in epistemology, philosophy of language, or philosophy of mind.
Historians also sometimes distance themselves from continental appropriations of past thinkers on the grounds that these thinkers should be taken on their own terms and in the context of past worlds.
Balibar depicts Spinoza as diverging from the typical fixation of modern political thought on individual and collective subjects in specifying the subject matter of political thought to be a field of movement in which collectives, states, and groups dissociate and coalesce in changing ways.

 Continents: University of Utah News Release: January 16, 2001
Plate tectonics - the universally accepted theory once known as “continental drift” - says huge, rigid, rocky plates of Earth’s crust and upper mantle slowly move on the planet’s surface, colliding to trigger mountain-building, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Some researchers have argued that continental plates on the early Earth were born when molten rock rose upward in a single event, then cooled and separated or “differentiated” into the lighter crust and the heavier uppermost mantle.
Most modern continental plates - including the crust and upper mantle - are about 60 miles thick because thicker continental roots do not form today, Moser said.

 Continental Drift? Modern European Philosophy in Britain Today
After a period of growth during the 1990s, modern European philosophy in Britain has reached a watershed in its institutional development.
Most discussion of the post-Kantian European or 'continental' tradition has focused upon either its relations to analytical and post-analytical work, or the scholarly issues involved in appropriating particular thinkers into the context of the English-speaking philosophical community.
In contrast, this conference invites the most prominent figures working within the tradition polemically to address the philosophical project with which they are associated, in order to produce a collective snapshot of the field, as a field of philosophical practices.

 1999, Ahmad and Saller
Strata of the Yellow Sea (YS) continental margin compose an excellent modern analog of epicontinental-sea and foreland-basin depositional settings because of the YS’s very high sediment supply, shallow depth, and gentle gradient from the shelf edge to basin.
Today, these conditions are rarely found on modern continental margins, but they were quite significant in ancient continental-margin stratigraphic successions.
Pleistocene falling-stage/lowstand deposits identified on high-resolution seismic-reflection data and chirp-sonar data from the YS continental shelf (and epicontinental sea) consist of seismic facies with reflections that are chaotic or steeply inclined.
