I am certainly not an expert but have noticed in my own area, near the New Madrid fault, that there is frequently an increase in activity after major flooding. It is also believed that the filling of a dam may have triggered the earth quake in the Sichuan region that killed so many people. I would think that if man made flooding can trigger one that natural flooding could as well. Here is a link to the article.

How earthquakes change the earth Include earthquakes that happen under the sea?

Earthquakes can change the Earth's surface by causing displacement along fault lines, leading to the creation of mountains or valleys. Undersea earthquakes, also known as subsea earthquakes, can trigger tsunamis due to the rapid movement of large volumes of water which can result in flooding and coastal damage. These events can also influence the distribution of oceanic plates and the structure of the marine environment.


What natural disasters can not be predicted?

What hazards are associated with earthquakes underwater?

Underwater earthquakes can trigger tsunamis, which pose significant hazards to coastal areas, leading to devastating flooding and destruction. They can also cause underwater landslides, disrupting marine ecosystems and affecting shipping routes. Additionally, seismic activity can damage underwater infrastructure, such as pipelines and communication cables, resulting in environmental hazards and economic loss.


Are there oceans near where earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.


What geological hazards are on the pacific plate?

On the Pacific Plate, geological hazards include earthquakes due to its boundary with other tectonic plates, volcanic activity along the Ring of Fire, and tsunamis generated by subduction zones and underwater landslides. These hazards make the Pacific Plate one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
