It moves the suface of the Earth one of two ways 1. the plates colide or 2. one moves on top of the other i.e. mountains
Earthquakes move the plates of the earth's surface. These plates moving and vibrating causes the surface to move and/or change, forming new land, mountains, valleys, rivers etc.

It can change
Weathering and erosion shape earths surface by changing earths surface by having extreme forces that change earth.
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
By slowing down the earths rotation but will not make effect to humans .
The quickest way to change the earth is an earthquake
The surface of the Earth can be changed by resulting from outer space, like from a meteor strike.
