Plate tectonics affect biodiversity via the shifting of the plates, and the resulting separation of species. Plants and animals fossils are often found on one continent, despite never known to have lived there.

How do high temperatures affect plate tectonics?
Weather has no affect whatsoever on plate tectonics because their very stong.
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
How do plate tectonics affect the ocean floor?
They change its size and shape.
How does plate tectonics affect forest animals?
earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics and earthquakes destroy forests. volcanoes can erupt then also destroy forests and that destroys animals and their homes. forest animals can get affected by plate tectonics in other ways too.
How in earth internal convection affect plate tectonics?
it affects it because any earthquake or different types of events happens an it will affect plate tectonics because it is stronger then plate tectonics for example lava or magma when a volcanos errupts it could burn some plate tectonic when theres a sunami it could also affected especialy if theres a earthquake for example 5.8 or bigger since the streets brake into pieces it could affect it
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
Yes, earthquakes are an affect of plate tectonics.
How do high temperatures affect plate tectonics?
Weather has no affect whatsoever on plate tectonics because their very stong.
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.

How do plate tectonics affect the ocean floor?
They change its size and shape.
In the mantle heat is transferred as soft rocks flow slowly in cycles known as?
Convection currents.
How does plate tectonics affect forest animals?
earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics and earthquakes destroy forests. volcanoes can erupt then also destroy forests and that destroys animals and their homes. forest animals can get affected by plate tectonics in other ways too.
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
Which theory describes the motion of earth's crust on its mantle?
plate tectonics=D
Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are really the result of plate tectonics, not the cause. The moving plates touch at their boundaries and then occasionally suddenly slip. The sudden slip are the earthquakes.
Are hurricanes and tornadoes affected by the plate tectonics theory?
Although the positions, shapes, and topographies of continents affect weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes they are not directly linked with plate tectonics.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
