How did plate movement affect animals?

Plate movement can affect animals by causing changes in their habitats, such as the shifting of land masses leading to the formation of new environments or the isolation of populations. It can also trigger natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which can have direct impacts on animal populations by causing physical harm or destruction of habitats. Additionally, plate movement can influence climate patterns, which in turn can affect animal behaviors, distributions, and food sources.
