The proximity principle indicates that items located close to one another appear to be part of the same group. In simpler terms, we naturally tend to associate items based on their spatial closeness. For the provided sentences, the first one is spaced in an unusual manner, while the second sentence is formatted conventionally, which enables our immediate comprehension of it.
Over the Earth, continents drift
Attached to structures called plates, they glide
They crawl across this vast sphere
Mountains rise when they collide
The Earth, formed many ages prior
Plates will expand the ocean base
Atlantic vast, Pacific more subdued
They shift and reshape the globe's place
A unified crust and lithosphere
Growing centimeters each year
This layer is in constant motion, it breaks
Slips result in earthquakes as it shakes
Hope this is useful!!!:)
