Both earthquakes and tectonic plate movement can affect organisms.

Earthquakes happen quickly and are short-term environmental changes.

Tectonic plate movement occurs slowly and is a long-term environmental change.

Explanation:

Earthquakes leads to numerous and dangerous environmental changes and makes a huge impact on the landscape. Earthquakes can lead to ground shaking, ground rupture, fires, tsunamis, surface faulting, landslides, mud slips, liquefaction, etc.

These disastrous short-term events can further lead to other long-term environmental damages like fire can destroy landscapes including cities, forests, plains, and mountains; tsunamis can destroy the coastal ecology, landslides and mudslides destroy the mountain structures.

Since the earthquakes occur quickly for a short time with massive intensity, the short-term damages are very high.

Tectonic plate changes happens gradually over years and leads to long term environmental impact like climate and temperature changes which effect terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Both earthquakes and tectonic plate movement can affect organisms.

Earthquakes happen quickly and are short-term environmental changes.

Tectonic plate movement occurs slowly and is a long-term environmental change.

Explanation:

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

this website is for anybody really not just for girls just saying, also while a lot of males are mean and you know there are the few who are kind and then there's the nice-guys but then theirs also guys like me who are shy we don't get out much because there are people like you who exist who would most likely punch a guy in the face so next time just think about things before you post them to a website where guys and girls can see your question.
