Not really.
However, in regions that were covered by ice sheets in the last ice age, there have been very small earthquakes that some experts blamed on the Earth's crust there still rising. The Earth's crust floats on the deeper, semi-molten layers. The ice age glaciers added weight to the crust, pushing it deeper. Then the glaciers went away. Even now, the crust is still rebounding from that weight having been removed. As it moves upward, small earthquakes can occur from time to time.
Theoretically, if you melted all the remaining glaciers the land beneath them would experience similar effects. In my opinion that's the least of our worries, though.

∙ 14y agoI think that water does affect earthquakes. This can be observed by the tsunami. Tsunamis usually only happen during or just after an earthquake. This is a sign of the water absorbing the force of the earthquake and turning it into more kinetic energy.

∙ 14y agoThere is little information as to suggest that weather can.
If water run down a faultline, it might dissolve minerals and lower friction.
This mean that it could actually trigger an earthquake.
Weather can not affect an earthquake other than affect the outcome as in worsen the complete picture of things.

What effects can weathering and erosion have on the water supply?
Weathering and erosion (which are synonyms) can cause minerals to leach into the water supply - for example, erosion of a rock which contains bauxite will cause aluminum to be present in the downstream water.
Can earthquakes happen under water?
Yes, many earthquakes occur under the ocean which is generally in water.
What are after effects of earthquakes?
Usually buildings get destroyed, and people get injured to killed.
What are some effects of soil erosion?
Loss of soil productivity, river, lake, and water supply over-sedimentation , and algae blooms.
Primary effects of earthquakes?
Primary effects are things that happen straight away as soon as the earthquake hits, such as; buildings shake/collapse (depending on how strong the earthquake is) roads crack/fall in, gas and water systems/poles break/burst
What are the effects of overpopulation on food and water supply?
love
Where are the local effects of an earthquakes?
Local effects of earthquakes include ground shaking and rupture, fires, and damage.
Pollutants contaminate the water supply. is this true or false?
true - they have undesirable effects
What are the effects of overutilization of water?
The are so many effects of over utilization of water. This would lead to insufficiency in the waters supply which would adversely affect the environment.
What other effects do earthquakes have?
alot

What are the natural effects of earthquakes?
the quaking of the earth
What are the important effects of earthquakes?
Things break.
Are there earthquakes in the water?
Earthquakes IN the water? No. Earthquakes UNDER the water, yes - underwater earthquakes cause most of the Tsunamis, including the one that hit Indonesia a couple of years ago. Yes There are earthquakes under the water; many of them start there.
What kind of scientist studies the ways of predicting earthquakes?
A seismologist studies earthquakes, their causes and effects.

Why does cholera occur after disasters?
After the disasters like the earthquakes, your water supply schemes may get damaged. The sewage systems usually go parallel to your water supply schemes. The contents get intermingled and cholera bacteria are on the top list to take advantage of the situation.
