how are volcanoes and the process of plate tectonics related
c
Plate Tectonics.
Earth materials.
A version of convection currents, occurring in the mantle, is thought to be the force behind plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics and evolution are related through the concept of continental drift. The movement of tectonic plates over millions of years has created and destroyed habitats, influenced climate patterns, and shaped geographical barriers that have driven speciation and evolution of organisms. This process has led to biogeographical patterns and genetic diversity seen in species today.
No, the sun's energy heats the Earth's atmosphere and surface, but it does not directly drive plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is primarily driven by heat from the Earth's interior, specifically by the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle.
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.

Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
