The causes of the evolution of marine animal life

Why is it important?
Earth's interior processes and the resulting motions of global plate tectonic dynamics can generate large amplitudes in sea level, susceptible to drive the evolution of marine animal diversity
Perspectives
This article shows for the first time a common cyclic signal in Earth's interior related processes (plate tectonic dynamics), sea-level changes, and marine biodiversity. As perspectives and opened question, why is plate tectonic dynamics so cyclical?
