What impact does plate tectonics have on the biosphere?

when the environment changes significantly, organisms either adapt to the new conditions or become extinct.

Explanation:as a result the patterns of the ecological relations of organisms should conform closely with the environmental patterns at any time, barring lag effects. Since the process of plate tectonics create major changes in earth environment, they should affect the biotic patterns and the course of evolution and extinction. Hope this helps!

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
