The create seismic waves that travel back the cover. Earthquakes can be violent or due to their size depending on the closeness from the surface.

The phenomenon is the same as when you displace a glass of water and water in it moves in the direction of the movement out of the glass. The shaking in the ocean or seabed causes Tsunami, which causes damages on a huge scale. The Earthquake can also cause landslides and volcanic activity.
