This shot may be reflective of the impact that a landslide has on vegetation, but I am not sure. Nonetheless, it does demonstrate precisely what such an event would do...
You can see lines of discolored trees in a crack-like pattern, similar to what we see when an iceberg collapses. Now, lacking soil and water, the vegetation becomes malnourished: A process requiring rock-eating life and erosion to result in soil and water retention. Some earthquakes create such desolate rifts in their wake. The evidence of change may be immediate and visible; or indirect or implied. For every action in the universe comes a reaction - if you can't be there for the action, you can always find evidence through the reaction. (Note: The old logging roads in a reforested area have often damaged soil fertility as well, in several ways, leaving similar patterns)
