Describe continental drift and plate tectonics. How can these affect the evolution of different plant and animal species?

Type your response here in paragraph form (3-5 sentences):

Explanation:

As tectonic plates drift due to the convection currents of the mantle below, so does the climate on the tectonic plates. This is because the drift causes the continents to glide across latitudes. Different latitudes have different climatic conditions associated with them. An example is an equatorial climate in the equator, the subtropical climate in the mid-latitudes and polar climate in the polar region.

Therefore, even though this drift is happening very slowly over millions of years, the plant and animal species in these continental also slowly adapt to the changing climatic condition in their environment associated with these continental drifts.
