Present continuous tense is used:
for that activity, thing or action that is happening at the very moment while you are speaking about it.
In other words, when you speak or discuss about the action that is happening or occurring or going on or continuing at the same time of your saying, you need to use this tense(or tense form).
The action you are talking about has not started in the recent past or did not start in past but it is just happening now itself, that is, it is of shorter duration usually though there are exceptions.
For example, we say- "The earth revolves around the sun."
But we don't say- "The earth is revolving around the sun." This is wrong because the earth always revolves around the sun, it is not of shorter duration but it happens all the time and thus, we use simple present but not present continuous.
What is shorter duration and what is longer duration depends on each individual's view and consideration. However, it should make sense and match with the context and situation.
Examples:
1. I am planting tress(or plants) these days.
2. Now a days, he is flirting with foreign girls.
3. She is pursuing her MBA final year.
4. You are working on your projects.
5. You are reading this description(or examples) now.
