Well, earthquakes can cause erosion of rocks, such as maybe large chunks of a mountain being eroded away after an earthquake. And volcanoes can form new land masses, such as islands. Hope this helps!

Why do volcanoes cause the most change in landforms?

Because volcanoes are formed under the crusts of the earth and the pressure formed by the massive heat emmitted from the volcanoe causes the crust to weaken to an extent at which it becomes vulnerable to change. This change becomes significant due to the fact that the crusts within the Earth are so large that one small change can alter how it sustains the upper layers of the Earth and, therefore, cause a change in landforms.
