When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. This is known as a transform plate boundary. As the plates rub against each other, huge stresses can cause portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes. Places where these breaks occur are called faults.
It is all related because in order for a speices to exist or live it must have an relative abundance of land or food in their territories. There also must be a diveristy in mates so that there is no inbreeding. DIversity can also come from the different colors of the species which can show the environment they live(d) in which can help sometimes ward off other predators. I hope this helps.
