As the tectonic plates move the continents to different locations, new mountains can form. These mountains can change the flow of air across the globe leading to changes in precipitation. Also, if the tectonic plate moves to a different latitude, the temperature will also change.
Tectonic plates never stop moving, this process is called continental drift. Tectonic plates move because of convection currents. These convection currents happen in the mantle, underneath the tectonic plates. The heat, which causes the convection currents, is produced from the radioactive decay left over from the Earths formation.
