They change its size and shape.
Plate tectonic only directly explains ocean trenches. An ocean trench forms when an oceanic plate collides with another plate and slides under it. Mudslides are most likely to occur in in hilly or mountainous areas. Most mountains have been formed by tectonic activity. Ocean currents are influenced by climate and the arrangement of the continents. While plate tectonics does change the positions of the continents, it does not directly affect climate. Tornadoes have nothing to do with plate tectonics; they are weather events.
Plate tectonics can indirectly influence El Niño events by affecting the underwater topography that can alter ocean currents. However, the direct relationship between plate tectonics and El Niño is not well understood, as El Niño is primarily driven by changes in ocean temperatures in the tropical Pacific.
Singholes generaly do not relate to plate tectonics. In most cases sinkholes result from the removal of underground material, which eventually cause the ground above to collapse into the space left behind. This is most often a result of weathering.
They are the same thing.

The Atlantic Ocean is expanding. Plate tectonics are driving the eastern New World and the western Old World farther apart.
