A. Creation of streams and rivers is not an example of how geography is directly impacted by earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause changes to the Earth’s surface due to the movement of the ground, which can lead to the creation of cracks and ridges
B possibly trigger volcanic eruptions
C and through tectonic processes, contribute to the uplift that creates mountains
D However, the creation of streams and rivers is typically a more gradual process involving the movement of water over time, eroding and shaping the landscape, although earthquake activity can indirectly affect their course by altering the terrain.
