Which statement best explains how tectonic activity affects long-term climate change? volcanic eruptions can cause both global warming and global cooling. the movement of continents changes wind patterns and ocean currents. the change in earth’s tilt and its orbit around the sun cause climate change. the increase of sunspots increases earth’s temperature.

The correct answer is b) The movement of continents changes wind patterns and ocean currents.

Option B

Explanation:

Movement of tectonic plates is associated with the shifting of continents over long geological time periods.  

Movement of these large tectonic plates leads to volcanic eruptions, displacement of water thereby causing tsunamis and under water earthquakes. Volcanoes eruption releases large amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses gases that alter the temperature. They also interfere with the oceanic currents and change their direction periodically

Hence, option B is correct

because the asteroid belt is between the mars and jupiter orbits, it is around 2.2 to 3.2 astronomical units (au) from the sun – which is approximately 329,115,316 to 478,713,186 km. the average distance between objects is a massive 600,000 miles.
