If you mean destructive: An earthquake can cause a tsunami(series of huge waves), a seiche(a big wave in an enclosed body of water like a lake or pond), a faulting(strong earthquakes that cause cracks in the crust), a landslide(rocks/soil falling down), a sand blow(water is forced out of the ground water, water is forced out of the groung in the form of an earthquake fountain.
