Continents affect the climate by their size and by their effects on ocean circulations, but if you are worried that we will be affected in turn, don't be! The mean speed of continental drift is about 25mm/year so nothing for us to lose sleep over!

Some scientists theorize that continental movements may cause climate changes by?
Ok, so the movement of the continents changed location of land and sea, therefore changing the wind patterns and ocean currents, slowly changing climate globally. Also, as the continents continue to move, climates will also continue to change.
