no, you're not doing the work, the gravity is doing the work by pulling it towards the core of the earth.

Does the weather impact geothermal power?
In general, no. For residential use, geothermal heat pumps use the fact that the ground stays at a relatively stable temperature versus outside air. By letting the ground warm up the cold air during the winter, the heat pump doesn't have to do as much work warming the house. Likewise, during the summer, the ground cools down the hot air, letting the heat pump do less work. For geothermal power plants, the answer gets more complicated. In general, cooler outside temperatures means the cooling system for the turbine may run a little cooler. This may mean that few cooling tower fans need to be run, saving power. Also, if the condensor is maintaining a lower pressure due to being cooler, the turbine may run more efficiently. All this may translate into a little more power produced, and a little less power used by the plant. On the flip side, if the steam coming into the plant gets cooled while it's in the steam lines, that's going to negatively affect power production....
How does the siesmograph work?
A seismograph operates on the movement of the ground during an earthquake. It is sensitive enough to record the movement of a truck nearby.
Why do buildings fall during an earthquake?
The amount of tension to resist breaking during a earthquake is what causes buildings to collapse. Buildings need to have the amount of tension reduced by either reinforcing or having it work with the movement of the earthquake.
