No, in fact, dams would collapse or crack in an event of an earthquake. Dams are built more to control floods, especially if they occur frequently and do destructive damage, just like why the Three Gorges Dam was built.
Most likely , Ehh , floods. (:
Their are many different dams across the world. A few dams that are famous are The Hoover Dam located in the United States and The Karun Damn in Iran

All dams (or most of them) produce electricity from water - specifically hydropower. Water goes through the dam and spins a few dozen turbines, producing electricity. Very similar to wind power.
