How do earthquakes affect the biosphere?

Answer 1

Well, honey, earthquakes can shake things up in the biosphere by disrupting habitats, causing landslides, and even changing water flow. It's like nature's way of saying, "Hey, wake up, I'm still in charge here!" So yeah, earthquakes can definitely throw a wrench in the whole ecosystem, but life finds a way to adapt and bounce back.

Answer 2

it kills flora and fauna, causes unusual animal behaviour, harms the ecosystem and wipe out a lot of crops and people die from earthquakes and possibly destroy buildings and other architectures.

Answer 3

The death toll (and rate) and monetary losses arising from such a widespread disaster can never be precisely known. Various estimates of the total number of fatalities from the earthquake and tsunamis have been published, with the USGS citing studies with figures of 2231, 3000, or 5700 killed, and another source uses an estimate of 6000 dead. Different sources have estimated the monetary cost ranged from 400 million to 800 million US dollars (or 2.9 to 5.8 billion in 2011 dollars, adjusted for inflation.)

Answer 4

The earthquake triggered numerous landslides, mainly in the steep glacial valleys of the southern Andes. Within the Andes most landslides occurred on forested mountain slopes around the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault. Some of these areas remain sparsely vegetated while others have naturally developed more or less pure stands of Nothofagus dombeyi. These landslides did not cause many fatalities nor significant economical losses because most of the areas were uninhabited with only minor roads. One landslide did however cause destruction and alarm following its blockage of the outflow of Riñihue Lake. About 100 km south of Riñihue Lake landslides in the mountains around Golgol River caused this river to dam up and then burst creating a flood down to Puyehue Lake.

brave and nobel

trees died as a result of the earthquake.R.I.P

we are gathered here today in remembrance of those trees who fought and lost, fighting for their country

Answer 6

Earthquakes mainly affect the biosphere by disrupting ecosystems and habitats, leading to potential loss of life and destruction of food sources for animals. The physical landscape changes caused by earthquakes can also alter water flow, affecting plant growth and impacting biodiversity. Additionally, earthquakes can trigger landslides and tsunamis, further affecting the biosphere.

Answer 7

Earthquakes directly and indirectly affect the Earth's biosphere. Intense shaking from quakes can lead to loss of life, landslides, mudslides, etc. They can also displace stream channels.

Answer 8

Most of the damage done was by large tsunamis and it sped over to Japan at 200mph:)hope this helps:)
