Diastrophism and volcanism has contributed to the evolution Diastrophism includes tectonics and plate tectonics,which have been responsible for the disintegration pangea and the resultant movement and drifting of the plates to reach today’s postion.Faulting and folding is responsible for many regional landmass modification including creation and destruction.Himalayan orogeny is a as result of massive folding.
Volcanism too has played a huge role in the evolutionary process.Volcanic eruption from the oceanic ridges have resulted in creation of many landmasses and island arcs.For eg, japanese island arc,Hawiian islands fall in this category.Volcanic eruption result in many other endogenic and exogenic landforms like batholiths,lacoliths,caldera etc..
Hence both diastrophism and volcanism have played a crucial role in shaping the earth as wee see today.
