The correct answer is:
**2. They modify Earth's surface**
Both earthquakes and tsunamis can lead to significant changes and modifications of the Earth's surface. Earthquakes cause ground shaking, which can result in surface rupture, landslides, and changes in land elevation. Tsunamis, which are usually caused by underwater earthquakes, can inundate coastal areas, altering coastlines and causing erosion or depositing sediment.
