Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when tectonic plates move and release built-up stress at their boundaries. Landslides can occur during earthquakes when the shaking of the ground causes slope failures. Tidal waves, or tsunamis, can be generated by underwater earthquakes or landslides that displace large volumes of water.
One cause of landslides and avalanches is heavy rainfall or melting snow, which can saturate the ground and destabilize slopes, leading to the movement of debris and rock downhill.
No, heavy rain cannot cause a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by underwater tectonic plate movements, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Heavy rain does not have the same energy or mechanism to produce a tsunami.
Indiana sits on the North American tectonic plate.
They chiefly cause earthquakes, and could also result to landslides and tsunamis.

Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
The thinnest part of a tectonic plate is typically at its edges, where the plate may be undergoing subduction or seafloor spreading. These processes can cause the plate to be thinner due to intense geological activity.
