It has many impacts on the Earth, such as moving the plates on the Earth to create earthquakes. It starts on fault lines, and it changes the Earth's surface in many ways, creating volcanoes and sometimes (if its in the water) it makes a tsunami!

∙ 12y agoThere are plate tectonics in earth and when they move, earth quakes happens. Sometimes the plate tectonics can move a continent. This is called the continental drift. Earth quakes can make volcanoes explode, tsunamis happen, and continents break. For example: The continent Pangaea. Because of the plate tectonics that caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and continents braking apart, the Pangaea broke up in to more continents and the continents broke into even more. That is why there are 7 continents in the world now. Earth quakes don't cause all these. Plate tectonics does. Plate tectonics makes earth quakes. Then, other horrible stuff happens.

How do earthquakes impact the environment and humans?
Earth quakes can destroy areas and cities when the occur. especially places with big buildings and a lot of residents. they can tear apart forests. but earthquakes happening is part of nature. (when a techtonic plate moves)*example- san adreas fault*

How did cratering op Earth impact Earth?
i cant tell what your question is really, but im assuming youre asking "how did craters impact earth?". the answer is either meteors, earthquakes, or erosion.
Why do earthquakes impact economically strained areas on earth more?
earthquakes are always happening. The devistation is because the structures are not built well, hence the disaster.
Why have craters left by asteroid impacts on earth disappeared?
Asteroid impact craters are destroyed by weather, erosion, and earthquakes.

Are Earthquakes Constructive or Destructive Force on Earth?
earthquakes constructive force on earth
How are earthquakes impact measured?
Earthquakes are monitered by a device called a Richter Scale.
Are earthquakes always bad?
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
How does sandstone mining impact the earth?
All types of mining are bad for the earth because it takes valuable metals, minerals, and rocks out of the ground. This can lead to problems like earthquakes and sinkholes.
Do earthquakes change the appearance of Earth?
No, There is more than 100 earthquakes daily on earth.
