The movement of plate tectonics greatly affects the development of new species. With movement, species can become isolated to specific areas and must adapt to the new/changed environment. Also, depending upon the event (volcano/earthquake) the climate will be affected which requires further adaptation of species.

Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
Yes, earthquakes are an affect of plate tectonics.
How do plate tectonics result in the development of earths major geologic features?
No movement
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.
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 biochemical cycles?
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 plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
How do plate tectonics affect the ocean floor?
They change its size and shape.
What is the name of the theory that led to the development of of the theory of plate tectonics?
squat-thrust

What is is the name of the theory that led to the development of the theory plate tectonics?
squat-thrust
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
