It's doubtful that you can see the quake itself, but you can often see its effects from that far, especially if the quake caused fires or a tsunami.
Geophysicists monitor the deformation associated with the sudden movements along faults using a technique known as synthetic aperture radar interferometry using satellites. As such it is indeed possible to observe the ground surface movement during large earthquakes from space but you need specialised equipment!
What else can I help you with?
What can be done to lessen the effect of earthquakes disasters on the environment?
Live in space, no earthquakes up there
Do earthquakes affect space?
It doesn't necessarily affect space itself but it can affect the Earth's tilt or axis in space.
What countries have lots of damage in earthquakes?
* China * Iraq * Japan * Iran For details of the world's worst earthquakes, see the related link.
How many earthquakes happened in the year 2000?
The USGS detected 22,256 earthquakes in the year 2000 although they estimate that a much larger number occur (> 1,000,000) than can be detected as the vast majority of earthquakes are very small and occur far away from seismometer stations.

Do earthquakes have to do with astronomy?
absolutely nothing. astronomy has to do with outer space and planets. While earthquakes would be geology
Do earthquakes affect space?

Do badgers cause earthquakes?
No. See the related question below for what does cause earthquakes.
Can Space shuttle launching cause earthquakes?
No, there is no way for a shuttle launch to cause an earthquake. They are very loud, but while they are close to the ground, a huge amount of water is poured under the flame. The white you see is steam, not smoke! This water keeps the rocket from destroying its pad, let alone causing earthquakes!
Can people feel earthquakes in space?
No, people cannot feel earthquakes in space because earthquakes are seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for these waves to travel through, so they are not detectable outside the planet. Astronauts in space can, however, detect the effects of an earthquake on Earth through instruments or by observing changes in the environment, but they won't physically feel the tremors themselves.
What type of material can earthquakes travel through?
EVERYTHING! Der der der! Except nothing. Earthquakes cannot travel through space..
What The study of earthquakes?
The study of earthquakes is called Seismology. Please see related links for more details.

Istaanbul. you'll be surprised to see how many earthquakes hit there every year.....*ohh*
