I think I know why Earthquakes and Tsunamis occur

I played cricket when I was younger and I remember how the Pakistani pace bowlers tamper with the ball to make the ball swing more in the air.
I feel the same now; the western civilization has been tampering with the earth, building skyscrapers. Till date there are 200 such huge buildings built from 1953 to 2010, the height ranging from 828meters or 2716 feet to 239 meters or 784 feet.
They have 162 floors to 41 floors, this of course is a tremendous Herculean task the human beings have achieved but at what cost? Upsetting the equilibrium of the entire globe.
We all know that the Earth rotates on its axis at the speed of 1674km per hr or 1040 miles per hour and simultaneously travelling at the speed of 66660 miles per hr or107278kms per hr. I am just trying to impress my readers with all these numbers and trying to prove that this speed is lot faster than Imran Khan’s bowling.
I think it makes a lot of sense to relate nature’s disasters - Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Global warming etc etc. to this globe tampering in the name of civilization.
This awesome earth is tampered and trampled upon by shifting material from one place to another. Steel is made from iron ore transported from some place to another and made into steel and used in someplace else. For cement, lime is mined in some place sent to the factory in some other place and the finished cement is used in huge quantities for these skyscrapers and imagine millions of barrels of oil being pumped out everyday. It really makes me think when an object in motion is being altered so much will it not swing out of proportion. These activities of shifting tectonic plates, erupting volcanoes and towering tsunamis cause all the natural disasters….Howzatt.
In this context I remember the story from my Sunday school days about the construction of Tower of Babel and when it was soaring into heaven, God himself had to stop the construction by bringing in new languages whereby people couldn’t understand each other and there was so much confusion. For some people this writing might sound like I am babbling but I dare to and like to think from outside the square or should I say sphere?
