There is more pressure on the micro-cracks in the near reservoirs, and when there is more pressure on the rocks the water acts like a lubricant to the faults and is stopped by friction against the rock surfaces which causes an earthquake.
Dams trigger tiny earthquakes as the ground under the reservoir adapts to the great weight of water added to it. There is no indication that these are causes of large earthquakes. Massive dams like Hoover Dam or Grand Coulee would have triggered huge earthquakes if this was the case. The largest killer earthquakes generally occur in places with no large dams.
no
Depending up on the intensity of an earthquake buildings, roads, dams and many other structures get damaged. Keeping in view the safety of buildings and dams from earthquakes special designs are being developed.
dams, roads, bridges, telephone lines
No. The influence of buildings and damns in this aspect is quite small. Earthquakes are the result of rock moving along faults.
Earthquakes can create dams when they trigger landslides or rockfalls that block rivers or streams. These obstructions can form temporary dams that impede the flow of water, causing it to pool and create a new reservoir behind the blockage. In some cases, these dams can also result in the formation of natural lakes.
No, it doesn't .
Construction of large artificial lakes can induce localized earthquakes.
different complication
Earthquakes can damage the safety systems of nuclear power plants, which can lead to meltdowns.
it can destroy buildings and could lead to death
if you are talking about deformation, it does cause earthquakes but they are very small
