Yes, particularly at areas called subduction zones, earthquakes can cause portions of the ground and sea floor to move up or down. Such movement can result in formerly dry areas becoming submerged. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides.

Why was the tsunami damage so high in japan?
Japan was very close to the epicenter of the earthquake; many of their buildings were damaged by the earthquake itself. Parts of the coast line were depressed and indented. Japan is an island nation, and much of the country is at or below sea level anyway. Because of this, the tsunami was able flood farther inland and because of the land features that were altered by the earthquake, the water did not recede.
