Questions 1. Where does the overwhelming amount of seismic activity occur on the Earth's surface?
2. Explain why the term recycling is an excellent description of plate tectonics.
3. Explain how tectonic plate movement could create another supercontinent like Pangaea.
4. If the Earth's core provides the heat that drives plate tectonics, then what will eventually happen
as the Earth's core cools down over billions of years?
5. What are the various ways in which lithospheric plates interact with each other as they move
around on a dynamic Earth?

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
