How do earthquakes affect the food chain?

Earthquakes can disrupt ecosystems and the food chain by damaging habitats, such as forests and aquatic environments, which can lead to the displacement or death of various species. The destruction of plants can reduce food availability for herbivores, while changes in terrain may affect predator-prey relationships. Additionally, sediment disruption in water bodies can impact fish populations and other aquatic life, further cascading through the food chain. Overall, the immediate and long-term ecological impacts can alter species interactions and biodiversity.
