Error, yes, Earthquakes break up sediments and trigger floods and landslides to carry them, so don't say what you don't know about because yes they can cause erosion so go get a 'correct' on your answer.

Do glaciers cause valleys or earthquakes?

Glaciers can shape valleys through a process called glaciation, where the movement and erosion of ice carve out the landscape. However, glaciers do not cause earthquakes as they are not related to tectonic plate movement. Earthquakes usually occur due to the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.

Does gravity cause earthquakes or landslides?

Gravity itself does not directly cause earthquakes or landslides. Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates, while landslides are usually triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, erosion, or human activities. However, gravity does play a role in both processes by influencing the movement and stability of material on Earth's surface.
