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.
The tectonic plates are a combination of the crust and the outer mantle, also called the lithosphere. These plates move very slowly, around a couple of inches a year. Where the plates touch each other is called a fault. When the plates move and the boundaries bump up against each other it can cause an earthquake.
