There are incidents where mining have been considered the trigger of earthquake.
It is not a large problem though.
Where as humans can dig tunnels and cause ground to weaken, even a collapse of big structures cause nothing more than a slight tremble. Not comparable with a big mother nature earthquake.
Such a tremble close to a fault-line can however trigger a larger proper earthquake.
Most likely, this kind of earthquake would have happened at some time sooner or later anyway. The chances are that a triggered earthquake will be less intense than a "normal" one.

How does sudden shifts in the Earth's crust affect the ocean?
It usually causes earthquakes. The earth quakes can cause tsunamis.
Does earth have moonquakes?
does earth have moon quakes
Why does san Andreas get so many earth quakes?
It gets so many Earth Quakes because it is under a fault line. Plates under the Earth's surface rub against each other and create Earth Quakes.
What happens when plate tectonics shift?
earth quakes
How do scientists get information about the inner parts of the Earth?
the earth quakes and volcanoes have helped in the study of the inner parts of the earth
Do volcanoes cause earth quakes?
Sometimes they do.
What is the sudden stress changes in the earth that cause ground shaking.?

What does plate mean like in science?
they are under the earths surface and cause earth Quakes
How does sudden shifts in the Earth's crust affect the ocean?
It usually causes earthquakes. The earth quakes can cause tsunamis.
What events cause gradual changes of the Earth's surface?
Earth quakes, weather erosion and tectonic plate movement.
What is the major cause of earthquakes on the earth?
The shifting in tectonic plates causing pressure making said quakes
How does tectonic plate movement cause earth quakes?
they rub together and go on top of each other
Does earth have moonquakes?
does earth have moon quakes
Does Texas have earth quakes?
no
What is the cause of quakes?
pressure is built on a fault line. the pressure is released by the earth's crust shifting and that causes earthquakes.
Why does san Andreas get so many earth quakes?
It gets so many Earth Quakes because it is under a fault line. Plates under the Earth's surface rub against each other and create Earth Quakes.
