caves are created by earthquakes

+++

Rather tenuous that link! Most caves are in limestone, and the necessary joints and faults in the rockfor ground-water to penetrateto initiate cave development, result from tectonic processes that would have also given rise to earthquakes, but the normal answer would be karst processes acting on a limestone upland offering suitable conditions for them to act.

Earthquakes themselves don't create caves other than perhaps by causing fractured rock masses to fall from a steep slope and maybe causetalus caves or mass-movement fissures behind the slumped rock.
