Question

1: Earthquakes do not cause environmental change.
2: Tectonic plate movement does not cause environmental change.
3: Both earthquakes and tectonic plate movement can affect organisms.
4: Earthquakes happen quickly and are short-term environmental changes.
5: Tectonic plate movement occurs slowly and is a long-term environmental
change.

Answer 1

i think it's the 3,4,&5 answer.

Answer 2

The answers are 3, 4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Earthquakes and the movement of tectonic plates affect organisms because it causes on the one hand destruction of their natural habitat and changes in soil composition that causes changes in the generation and growth of new organisms. On the other hand it is also affected because earthquakes and movements cause damage to human structures that can cause harmful effects on biota such as gas leaks and dangerous substances

4. An earthquake has immediate impacts such as ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction.

This type of impact causes effects in how species will have to have to adapt to their environment.

5. Tectonics plate movement plays a fundamental role in climate change the rate is slow and it causes for example the volcanic eruptions , this eruption increases the degree of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere that also leads to a rise in the temperature levels.
