Earthquakes really don't influence the atmosphere. Earthquakes only influence the earth, since the atmosphere is free to move above it. The only exception would be if an earthquake demolished an entire city, releasing massive amounts of dust into the air, but that would still be a localized effect.

How do earthquakes change the atmosphere?

Earthquakes affect the atmosphere by creating amounts of dust which add to the air that we breathe. Earthquakes can also trigger volcanoes which will release tonnes of ashes and other particulates into the atmosphere. This can sometimes cause the blocking out of the sun (cooling effect), air pollution and an increased amount of carbon in the air (warming effect).
