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.


Can earthquakes create landforms?

Sometimes an earthquake causes uplift in the ground. In some cases this can turn sea floor into dry land.
