Why do climates change as continents move?
Climates can change suddenly for brief periods after a volcanic eruption. In contrast, the movement of continents causes steady climate changes over many millions of years
How has the movement of continents caused Earth's climate to change?

Why does the rate of movement of tectonic plates change?
The rate of movement of a lithospheric plate will change as the resistance in the path of convection is increased or decreased because of the types of convergent collisions.
If the asthenosphere cooled and stopped flowing how would you expect the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere to change Tectonic plates would?
move less then 2cm a year

What is most responsible for the changes in landforms?
Tectonic movement-the slow drifting of the continents-is responsible for the huge changes in landforms. For example Africa and South America were once joined but tectonic movement carried them apart. Climate change creates deserts, tides reshape coastlines, mountain ranges are created by continental collision but wind and weather reshape them over long periods of time.
What are the changes undergone by continents?
