Although there is no proven correlation between flooding events and increased seismicity, increased pore pressure due to percolation or increased crustal load from reservoirs residing on fault zones is known to decrease friction along the fault plane and increase likelihood of rupture. There is a possibility that flood could increase crustal load and cause rupture however due to short duration and decreased extent of percolation it is unlikely that flooding will increase the chance of an earthquake occurring.

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.
What is the impact of an earthquake on the natural environment?
Earthquakes can cause mountains to move. They can change existing lakes and rivers as well as creating new ones. Displaced water can cause floods. Coastal areas can be hit with tsunamis. Wild animals as well as people are displaced. Earthquakes pretty much effect all aspects of the lives in the areas where they occur.
Are floods geologic in nature?
No, floods are not geologic in nature. They are caused by a combination of natural factors like heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or dam failures, which lead to an overflow of water that can inundate land areas. Geologic events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can trigger floods, but floods themselves are not considered geologic phenomena.
Are floods the least destructive of geological hazards?
Floods are not considered the least destructive geological hazard. While they may not cause as much immediate damage as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, they can still result in significant destruction to property, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Additionally, floods can lead to loss of life and have long-lasting social and economic impacts on communities.
Can planetary alignments cause earthquakes?
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that planetary alignments can cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface.
Can earthquakes cause flash floods?
yes
Do floods cause other disasters?

Do earthquakes cause erosion?
Error, yes, Earthquakes break up sediments and trigger floods and landslides to carry them, so don't say what you don't know about because yes they can cause erosion so go get a 'correct' on your answer.
