Explanation:

• Biomes are related to ecosystems and not formed by plate movement.
• Atmospheric layers are part of the atmosphere and not created by plate tectonics.
• Elements are fundamental substances and not formed in this context.
• Plate tectonics theory states that over time, plate movement can create new plates (e.g., at mid - ocean ridges where new crust is formed which can be part of new plates).
