Powerful seismic activity has always been part of the history of Planet Earth as tectonic plate movement reshapes history. All epochs and timelines of Earth's history denote powerful seismic activity.

In our current timeline (21st century) - once again earthquakes shape the end of another journey - this one called the Human Experiment - as the planet will not be sustainable much longer.

Confusing Jumbles of Rocks in Africa Could Represent Oldest Known Earthquakes   Science Alert - March 15, 2024

Our world may seem fragile, but Earth has been around for a very long time. If we ventured far back into the past, would we reach a time when it looked fundamentally different? The answer lies in some of the earliest extensive relics of Earth's surface, found in a remote corner of southern Africa's highveld - a region known to geologists as the Barberton Greenstone Belt. The geological formations in this region have proved difficult to decipher, despite many attempts. But our new research has shown the key to cracking this code lies in geologically young rocks laid down on the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Zealand. This has opened up a new perspective on what our planet looked like when it was still young.

Oldest evidence of earthquakes found in strange jumble of 3.3 billion-year-old rocks from Africa   Live Science - March 15, 2024

Scientists have found signs of some of the earliest known earthquakes in 3.3 billion-year-old rocks. The rocks provide early evidence of plate tectonics, which explains Earth's crust as split into large plates that glide across the mantle. The rocks also point to what conditions may have been like when life first evolved. Geologists made the discovery after investigating the Barberton Greenstone Belt, a complex geological formation in southern Africa. They realized that the belt is remarkably similar to much younger rocks in New Zealand that have experienced earthquake-triggered submarine landslides along the Hikurangi subduction zone.
