Older oceanic crust, which is more dense than continental crust, has long since been recycled in the process of subduction. Credit: U.S. Geological Survey. Plate tectonics shapes the surface of our planet, but it also runs much deeper: Plate movement is the surface expression of convection in Earth's interior.

Answer:

The tectonic plates appeared when the earth began to cool, where the water flooded the earth. The earth that was submerged originated the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are large semirigid rock blocks that make up the earth's crust. The Earth is divided into fourteen main tectonic plates, which move slowly and continuously over the mantle, and can approach or move away from each other.  The movement of the plates results in the formation of mountains, oceanic pits, volcanic activities, earthquakes and tsunamis.

The formation of tectonic plates was a result of the cooling and flooding of the earth. When the earth began to cool, where water flooded the earth. The submerged earth originated the tectonic plates.

An island has many kinds of birds, no native species of snakes, and few large predators. Brown snakes eat bird eggs. What is the
olganol [36]

Boiga irregularis or brown snake is a slender, climbing snake with a vertical pupil and large eyes, providing it better nocturnal vision. The species has no natural predator. When the brown snake is accidentally released into the island, it will result in local extinction of the majority of the island's native lizard and bird species.

It will also result in cascading ecological influences by eradicating native pollinators, resulting in the corresponding reduction of the native plant species.

Hence, the correct answer will be fewer birds and more snakes.
