Earthquakes are not normally related to the weather in any way. Earthquakes are studied in the science of seismology which is a sub branch of geophysics. The science of weather on the other hand is known as meteorology.

However at the same time seismic activity can be induced by increases in pore water pressure however rainfall is not usually enough on it's own to drive up pore water pressure to such an extent that this would occur.

How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?

Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.


What are the internal agents of changes on the surface of the earth?

There are many forces that are responsible for making constructive changes on the surface of the Earth. These forces include volcanoes, earthquakes, wind, erosion, glaciers, and plate tectonics.


What is the dominant process that shapes Earth landscape?

The dominant process is erosion (generally a destructive process). Events that increase the elevation of land surfaces are either very slow (orogeny) or sporadic (volcanoes, earthquakes).


Are pyramids earthquake proof?

I don't think they were built earthquake proof but their sheer bulk of gravity make them so. The Giza pyramids, for example, have withstood a number of earthquakes in their time without significant damage. Some of the later mud brick pyramids have collapsed but I am not sure this is due to earthquakes, erosion or just bad construction.


How can earthquakes occur in the middle of a plate?

Earthquakes in the middle of tectonic plates, known as intraplate earthquakes, can occur due to stress caused by tectonic forces that are transmitted through the crust. These stresses may result from the movement of adjacent plates, volcanic activity, or reactivation of ancient faults. Additionally, changes in the Earth's crust, such as sediment loading or erosion, can also induce seismic activity away from plate boundaries. While less common than plate boundary earthquakes, intraplate quakes can still be significant and damaging.
