When an earthquake strikes, it will create fissures into the depths of the earth in random locations, usually with a lot of people. According to fiction, anyway. In reality, the ground often just shakes, shifts and quakes — the physical damage is usually to structures on the ground, not the ground itself. If fissures do open up, it is usually due to a landslide triggered by the quake, which means they're restricted to hillsides, mountains, and cliffs. If you see roads with cracks and fissures and dislodged pieces, it is because the wet, sandy ground underneath has liquefied, causing the road to sink unevenly and crack. And yes, that can happen to buildings too. Fissures more directly related to earthquakes can happen. When a normal (extensional) fault slips, the soil near the surface can rip apart on a vertical rupture (the actual fault plane being at about a 45 degree slope), producing a fissure. It will, however, usually be fairly small, less than a metre wide. At most a few unlucky people might fall down and get stuck. Poorly constructed roads can also fracture like this, but never as severely as the media depicts it. In other words, you probably won't fall into a pit of lava that's apparently just 20 feet from the surface. Sometimes, unlucky victims will fall for hours down the cracks until they reach anything. It's yet another area in which nature fails to observe the Rule of Cool. (Probably for the best.) |

Divinity: Original Sin II: The Geomancy spell "Earthquake" is an Area of Effect that inflicts heavy elemental damage and knockdown, creates oil surfaces, and causes cracks in the ground to radiate outwards from the caster, though the latter effect is short-lived and purely cosmetic. | |

Deep Rock Galactic: One of the threats in the Magma Core is the sheer geological instability of the area. Thankfully, the frequent earthquakes won't collapse the caverns or drop massive chunks of earth on your head... but what they will do is open up massive crevices of dangerous half-molten rock into the nearby earth, where you can fall in and cook to death if you aren't careful. They're not quite deep enough to cause fall damage, but that's the least of your problems. | |

DuckTales (1987) did this on more than one occasion. Most notably, an earthquake kicked off a major plot arc when the fissure opened up under Scrooge's money bin (after he comically raced it home and tried to stop it) and all of his money fell deep inside the earth. | |

In Visionaries, the Sun Imps (six mischievous sprites) were sealed into a tomb during the First Age of Magic. The tomb was then buried, but later earthquakes caused an enormous fissure to open up in the ground, exposing the tomb.

The Quake spells in in Final Fantasy, III, IV, and VIII. Oddly enough, in Final Fantasy VI the thing just creates an actual hole. The earthquake that Kefka causes halfway through VI. There's a big montage of seismic faults and fissures opening up in the ground all over the place during the cutscene. Possibly justified, as it wasn't just an earthquake, it was the power of the Warring Triad literally reshaping the face of the world. |

While it's a small one compared to many other examples, in Ghostbusters (1984) the eponymous crew fall into a fissure when an earthquake strikes just before they go in for the final showdown. A moment of drama and then they crawl out and wave. It makes more sense knowing that the street (Central Park West) is built directly on top of a subway tunnel, which would have been damaged and partially collapsed. | |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. When Dr. Elsa Schneider crosses the seal while holding the Grail, a mammoth earthquake hits and causes huge cracks to form in the cave. Dr. Schneider falls in, as does Indy later on (Possibly some Mooks fall in too). | |

Inverted in the Generation III GBA games. Fissure's animation causes even more violent shaking than Earthquake, ending with a picture of a fissure replacing the background. | |

In Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, this happens very early in the game as of its alpha build. This is unlikely to change as the game leaves alpha and goes into beta and beyond, as the same event occurs during the table top adventure. | |

Averted in The Dead Mines. While one note reveals that an earthquake caused the mine to fill with gas, the mine remained structurally intact and the only thing damaged are the human-made pipes. | |
