Earthquakes can cause

Concept:

• Earthquake: It is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, it causes great destruction over the ground surface.
• It is mainly due to the movement of tectonic plates of earth crust or volcanic action.

Explanation:

• Earthquakes are able to initiate landslides over mountainous regions or wet regions.
• If the earthquakes are under the sea bed, this sudden shake can create extreme pressure outwards and might take a shape of a Tsunami.
• Sometimes the earthquakes can break the dams and overflows of water can create the situation of floods.

The earthquake has no direct effect on Lightning & thunder as these processes are happening in the atmosphere and the earthquake mostly covers the ground impact.

Hence, landslides, Tsunami, and Floods can be caused by earthquakes.
