At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami.Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.n its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event â whether natural or caused by humans â that generates seismic waves.
