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 does radiation effect plate tectonics?

Radiation does not directly affect plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is driven by heat from the Earth's interior and the movement of tectonic plates, while radiation comes from sources such as the sun and nuclear reactions. Radiation can cause heating in the Earth's interior, which may indirectly contribute to tectonic activity, but it is not a primary driver of plate tectonics.


Are hurricanes and tornadoes affected by the plate tectonics theory?

No, hurricanes and tornadoes are weather systems driven by atmospheric conditions, not plate tectonics. Plate tectonics theory focuses on the movements of Earth's lithosphere plates, which leads to processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
