If you mean destructive: An earthquake can cause a tsunami(series of huge waves), a seiche(a big wave in an enclosed body of water like a lake or pond), a faulting(strong earthquakes that cause cracks in the crust), a landslide(rocks/soil falling down), a sand blow(water is forced out of the ground water, water is forced out of the groung in the form of an earthquake fountain. Sand is forced out and deposited on the groung in the form of volcanolike mounds)and fire(when electric wires are destryoed and electric posts are upturned). So it is serious.
