match the regional/global effect with its influence on the geologic history of a continental interior.
a. Tetonic activity along continental margins:
b. Changes in global climate
c. Movement of the tectonic plate on which the continent rides
d. Rise of mountains along a coast
1. Sea-level rise can cause significant flooding well into the Interior of a continent.
2. Weather patterns can change, causing a change in climate; as an example, rain-shadow deserts may form. (Consider US west coast mountain ranges)
3. Latitude can be changed over time, causing drastic changes in climate of the area.
