Earthquake , this my disturb the total quilibrium state of earth.
earth all the environmental factors are in equilibrium.
when this equlibrium is disturbed, the system try to re solve the effect.
this may lead to huge catartophy in the environment.
In the last we all hearesd about tsunami ,
scientists say that this is due to earthquake in the sea
some times sea level may raise du to earthquake .
anyway the environmental problem is verymuch.
surely it affect the living organisms.

I think it destroyes plants the surrounding area as aresult shortage of oxygen access,and destroy home of animal habitats. It may also pollution of air if raising ashes in the form of volcano.
