* Biotic resources are living things or the products of living things. Examples include plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
* Abiotic resources are non-living components of the environment. Examples include rocks, water, air, and sunlight.
An earthquake is a purely geological phenomenon, driven by the movement of tectonic plates. The rock is an abiotic resource, and the earthquake itself is an abiotic process. There's no living component involved in this interaction.
Here's an example of a biotic-abiotic interaction:
* A plant (biotic) uses water (abiotic) from the soil to grow.
The movement of a rock during an earthquake is simply a physical response to geological forces, not a biological interaction.
