Earthquakes can do a lot of damage to just one place.
EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKE:
- Avalanches
- Tidal waves (tsunami)
- Spills
- Flooding
- Death
- Establishment damage
- Transportation nessecities destroyed
- Broken electricity and Gas lines
Earthquakes produce various damaging effects to the areas they act upon. This includes damage to buildings and in worst cases the loss of human life. The effects of the rumbling produced by earthquakes usually leads to the destruction of structures such as buildings, bridges, and other standing establishments.

Additionally
Some effects of major earthquakes are global and change the shape of the planet in small but measurable ways. For example, a result of the 9.0 earthquake that hit Japan in March 2011 was reported to have shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds and shifted its axis by about 6.5 inches as calculated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

How earthquakes change the earth Include earthquakes that happen under the sea?
earthquakes change the earth because the tectonic plates move, this also happens under the sea.
How did earthquakes get the name?
they named this natural disaster earthquakes because earth is the land and quake means vibration on earth together it means a vibration on the earth surface
What forces shape the surface of the earth?
Geologic forces that shape the Earth are weathering and erosion (from wind, ice, water, and gravity) and the results of plate tectonics (volcanism, earthquakes, mountain building, subduction, crust creation).
In 2012 who was the antagonist?
