There are two ways:
1) By generating a sea wave called a tsunami, which when entering shallower water can become a towering mass of water that washes away coastal communities and can even reach several miles inland.
2) By releasing vast amounts of floodwaters from rivers and lakes, through the destruction of dams or natural barriers. In several notable disasters, quakes triggered landslides that shoved huge quantities of water out of deep lakes or reservoirs, washing away entire towns downstream. Volcanic activity is sometimes related to this type of quake.

Do all earthquakes have a flood?
Not all. Only if an earthquake happens in a country where it is located by water; then the earthquake can cause disturbance to that body of water.
The causes of flood?
heavey rain and earthquakes
Why does it flood after earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause flooding due to several reasons, such as ground shaking disrupting natural drainage systems, landslides blocking water flow, or the formation of new cracks that allow water to seep through. Additionally, tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes can also lead to significant flooding along coastlines.

Do lightning cause Earthquakes?
Lightning does not directly cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic activity. Lightning is a discharge of atmospheric electricity within a thunderstorm that does not have an impact on the Earth's crust to cause earthquakes.

Does Emily cause earthquakes?
No, Emily does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. Emily, as an individual, does not have the ability to cause earthquakes.
