How does the movement of lithospheric plates lead to evolution in species?

Simple: as the plates separate, organisms that were once alike get separated. As they adapt to their environments, they undergo a process called speciation, when they have developed so much that they become a new species.

Is it true Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes?
No, the wording of you question is not true. However the movement of the lithospheric plates is related to the formation of volcanoes.
What is the average movement per year of the lithospheric plates?
5 centimeters.
True or false Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes.?
True
What is the behavior of the crustal plates in relation to the asthenosphere?
Crustal (or lithospheric) plates are pulled or pushed by the movement of heated rock in the asthenosphere.
What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plate?
Fill the gap between separating plates.

True
How might the plasticity of earth's mantle influence the movement of the lithospheric plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of the earths lithospheric plates?
Plasticity means that there is enough movement in the asthenosphere to allow thelithospheric plates to move.
What is the Driving Force For Movement Of The Lithospheric Plates?
unequal distribution of heat within Earth.
What is the behavior of the crustal plates in relation to the asthenosphere?
Crustal (or lithospheric) plates are pulled or pushed by the movement of heated rock in the asthenosphere.
Why is the asthenosphere important to the theory of plate tectonics?
It is the movement of ductile rock in the asthenosphere caused by convection currents that creates movement of the lithospheric plates. It is the conveyor belt on which the plates move.
