Do dams trigger earthquakes?
Dams trigger tiny earthquakes as the ground under the reservoir adapts to the great weight of water added to it. There is no indication that these are causes of large earthquakes. Massive dams like Hoover Dam or Grand Coulee would have triggered huge earthquakes if this was the case. The largest killer earthquakes generally occur in places with no large dams.
How are dams formed by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can create dams when they trigger landslides or rockfalls that block rivers or streams. These obstructions can form temporary dams that impede the flow of water, causing it to pool and create a new reservoir behind the blockage. In some cases, these dams can also result in the formation of natural lakes.
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.
Are man made earthquakes real?
Yes, man-made earthquakes, often referred to as induced seismicity, are real phenomena. They can occur as a result of human activities such as mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from large dams, and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and gas extraction. These activities can alter underground pressure and stress, leading to small to moderate earthquakes. While most induced earthquakes are minor, some can be significant enough to cause concern and damage.
Do hippos cause earthquakes?
No, hippos do not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, not by any actions of hippos or other animals.
What damages would earthquakes cause?
dams, roads, bridges, telephone lines
Does constructing buildings or dams cause earthquakes?
No. The influence of buildings and damns in this aspect is quite small. Earthquakes are the result of rock moving along faults.

What do dams cause?
dams cause many fishs' life cycle
Do earthquakes can damage buildings roads dams and many other structures?
Depending up on the intensity of an earthquake buildings, roads, dams and many other structures get damaged. Keeping in view the safety of buildings and dams from earthquakes special designs are being developed.
Can dams cause droughts?
yes
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Do earthquakes have a geologic meteorological or human cause?
Earthquakes have a geological cause.
