How do earthquakes form?
Japan had a massive earthquake in 2011
This is an Map of the Damage From the Japanese Earthquake
and here are three different interactive maps that show how the shifting plates caused the earthquake and tsunami.

Floods
THERE ARE FEW places on Earth where flooding is not a concern. Any area where rain falls is vulnerable to floods, though rain is not the only cause.
How floods formA flood occurs when water inundates land that's normally dry, which can happen in a multitude of ways.
Excessive rain, a ruptured dam or levee, rapid melting of snow or ice, or even an unfortunately placed beaver dam can overwhelm a river, spreading over the adjacent land, called a floodplain. Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or tsunami causes the sea to surge inland...(click here for more on floods on National Geographic website)
