Earthquakes can influence the formation of landscapes and terrains in various ways. When an earthquake occurs, the movement of the Earth's crust can cause significant changes to the landscape. For example, earthquakes can create new landforms such as fault scarps, which are steep cliffs or ridges that form along a fault line. Additionally, earthquakes can trigger landslides, rockfalls, and avalanches, which can reshape the terrain by moving large amounts of material downslope. Over time, the cumulative effects of earthquakes can contribute to the overall shaping of the Earth's surface and the formation of diverse landscapes.
