How do plate tectonics affect geobiological processes?

Question 1

Subduction Zones

Answer 1

destroy rocks (and fossils)

Question 2

Tectonic Degassing

Answer 2

release of greenhouse gasses from inner earth to atmosphere

Question 3

Characteristics of a supercontinent

Answer 3

very strong, dry continental climates in the interior (no ocean to regulate temperature)

At the equator, the east side of Pangea was more wet (because of winds)

Efficient transfer of heat to poles → lower latitudinal temperature gradient in the ocean
