What Weather causes an Earthquake?

Weather does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Changes in weather, such as heavy rainfall or snowmelt, can potentially trigger landslides or affect the stability of soil, which may indirectly influence the likelihood of avalanches or mudslides, but not earthquakes.
