Linus Pauling

Explanation:

Linus Pauling is known for his excellent contributions to understanding the structure of proteins.

Unlike Linus Pauling, the rest mentioned contributed to the development of cell theory.

Theodor Schwann - stated that animals are made up of cells

Rudolph Virchow - stated that cells emerge from previously existing cells

Robert Hooke - worked on the bark of oak tree, and discovered its contained 'rooms', later called cell.

Matthias Schleiden - stated that plants are made up of cells

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
