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.)

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.

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.

What effect does the biosphere have on lithosphere?

Well, Biosphere is the complete ecological system of Earth. Hence, it would include everything from the Core to the Earth's Magnetic Field. The biosphere can affect the lithosphere through - Earth's the Magnetic Field causes slight movements within the Core (as it is made out of Nickel and Iron, which are highly magnetic), this would cause the shifts in crust movements, which in turn COULD (NOT CAN) result in earthquakes.
