volcanoes and earthquakes is the top tectonic plate affects that can cause extinction
Explanation:
Volcanoes: because of a volcanoes lava intense heat it could kill species. Lava is the hottest natural substance there is on earth. Also the fumes and gases that come from volcanoes are deadly and can kill species that inhale it even if the volcano is miles away.
Earthquakes: the highest stage of a earthquake can be devastating cracking open grounds and destroying everything in its path which also means that it can destroy certain species homes (trees, underground, mountains) which can kill them. Also they can cause land slides which can wipe out a species instantly if strong enough. Even the after affect can causes species to go extinct because if they can't find shelter or food then they could eventually die of starvation or dehydration.
The gases absorb energy, which slows or prevents the loss of heat into space. They act like a kind of blanket, keeping heat in and radiating it back downwards and raising the temperature of the Earth.
