Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.
