Earthquakes can disrupt the ecosystem by pulling plants out of the ground causing loose soil. Earthquakes shift the ground causing some cracks. Tsunamis can be formed when Earthquakes happen underwater. This causes strong underwater currents which disturb the aquatic life as well as flooding the land.
