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:

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.    

so whats the answer
