Maybe it's a volcano, an earthquake, some object from outer space, a Person of Mass Destruction, a nuclear war, etc. Or maybe it's an intentional method of Terraforming. In fiction, many events have a tendency to alter the local geography. Better get to redrawing those maps. Often also a form of Artistic License – Geology. See also California Collapse for one variation of disasters. This isn't meant to be confused with the long-standing geographical differences that might be present on an alternate Earth. Also overlaps with Terrain Sculpting. Victims of this are often throwaway countries. This has nothing to do with changing borders between countries. For a more egotistical redecoration of Earth's nearest neighbor, see Deface of the Moon. For a magical variation, see World Sundering. Examples |

Genshin Impact: four of the playable characters are known to have drastically changed the landscape, whether it be make islands (Zhongli), move islands (Venti), create a long radioactive trench (Ei), or create a cliff and change how boats must go to make port in their nation (Klee). The first three are archons (gods); the latter is an adolescent elf girl who is a bomb expert thanks to her omnipotent sorceress mother. | |

Worm: This seems to be the Modus operandi for the Endbringers. Leviathan in particular has a streak of defacing local geography with his macro-hydrokinetic abilities. He's responsible for sinking Kyushu, which turned Japan into a third-world nation, and Newfoundland. He nearly does this to Brockton Bay, attempting to sink the city into an aquifer. Later on, Scion obliterates Great Britain with relative ease. The island is said to fold "like crumpling paper in a hand." |

Happens all over the place in 2012. Southern California is destroyed in an enormous earthquake, which creates a huge canyon in Coachella Valley before sinking all the land into the ocean. Las Vegas is split in half by a huge fissure. Hawaii is buried under lava. But perhaps the most impressive example is the Earth's crust shifting 23 degrees to the southwest, which places the new magnetic south pole somewhere in Wisconsin and conveniently moves the Himalayas closer to Jackson and his family. This also somehow causes the African continent to rise by several thousand feet, saving it from the resulting floods. | |

Collateral damage is barely a concern during the war against the Ogdru Hem in B.P.R.D.. Earthquakes, volcanic disasters, and attacks from the monsters have destroyed cities like Munich, Houston, Seattle, London, New York, Paris, Raleigh, and many others.

Madara from Naruto mentions this as a Badass Boast, saying that it's a good thing that his rival Hashirama isn't present since they won't have to redraw the map "that much". He then cuts a mountain in half.

Guilty Gear: On September 2, 2074, the entire nation of Japan was destroyed by a gamma ray blast from Justice, which kicked off the Crusades between humanity and the Gears. There's now a massive hole in the ocean where the archipelago used to be, with huge waterfalls pouring down, and the few remaining Japanese now live under surveillance in colonies protected by magic barriers. This wasn't just done as the opening volley to the Crusades, but both the destruction and the colony program were attempts to stop the Universal Will from transforming them all into living antimatter bombs. | |

In Half-Life 2, Earth's been under control of the Combine for twenty years. They've been steadily draining the planet's resources, particularly water. Check out the designs of all the levels that feature waterways or oceans, there's plenty of clues in the scenery that the water level used to be about 5 meters higher than it is now. The amount of water that's been stolen to make global water levels drop that much is truly mind-boggling. | |

Project Wingman: The Calamity caused major tectonic upheaval around the world that significantly altered the geography, especially in the Ring of Fire region; so far we've been shown that the western coast of North America is now separated from the mainland by the "Scarred Sea" (essentially a reopened Western Interior Seaway), a portion of southern China had also been detached from the rest of Asia, and it appears that the Malay Archipelago had simultaneously experienced considerable gains of dry land in the western half and lost several of its major eastern islands (namely New Guinea and the Philippines). | |

Has happened on more than a few occasions in SCP Foundation, but they've all been covered up as just being part of Earth's natural geography. For example, the Marianas Trench wasn't around before a massive containment breach. It also wasn't initially underwater. One proposal for SCP-001 reveals that the Gulf of California was carved out by the entity that the Church of the Broken God summoned in 1943. The Broken Masquerade canon has the Foundation exposed after an incident involving anomalous objects destroys North Korea. There's mention of a giant hole and hurricanes produced by the air and water rushing in to fill it. |

World of Warcraft has a Cataclysm Backstory involving the Great Sundering. Ten thousand years ago, Queen Azshara created a portal for Sargeras in the Well of Eternity, the heart of Azeroth's magical power, to lead his forces to conquer the world. With no other choice, Malfurion Stormrage and his troops destroyed the well, which set off a catastrophic chain of events. The continent of Kalimdor shattered into four smaller landmasses and several islands. The area where the well occupied is now a swirling vortex known as the Maelstrom. | |

The Killing Star: A few moments after humanity first detects the existence of alien life, the Solar System is struck with thousands of projectiles travelling at 92% the speed of light. Their impacts on Earth are the most devastating, each one vaporizing everything for hundreds of miles around and flattening everything else left untouched. When the last survivors on the planet, who were in a submarine in the deep ocean at the time, arrive in what used to be the city of Long Beach, New York, the only remnant of human civilization they find is the plumbing from an underground swimming pool buried in the mud. New York City is nothing more than open water. | |

Defiance: During the Pale Wars between humans and Votans, the alien ships were mysteriously destroyed, causing their terraforming technology to rain down on Earth and begin affecting the planet. Geography, geology, and even the biosphere were radically changed◊; the planet is covered by dust and debris, the atmosphere is saturated by electromagnetic radiation and dangerous hybrids of earth and alien life run rampant. Perhaps no better example is the establishing shot of the St. Louis Gateway arch. One episode has characters go down into the mines and see the remains of the old St. Louis skyscrapers. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Antarctica was destroyed by the Second Impact, leaving a sea devoid of all Lilith-based life, including microbes. In the manga adaptation, after dropping an N2 bombnote an explicitly non-nuclear WMD on an Angel, a NERV officer complains that they'll have to redraw the map of Japan again—the explosion having carved a scoop out of the coastline. In You Can (Not) Redo, the Near Third Impact has left the Earth even more devastated. Tokyo-3 and the surrounding landscape is a wasteland full of ruins, craters, upheaval, blood-like smears and huge red crosses. Much of the planet is also scarred by vast fissures, one of which looks like a huge mouth with rows of teeth. Additionally, the moon is now much closer, is no longer tidally locked, and is also covered with blood smears. What remained of the biosphere is now destroyed and fewer than ten million humans have survived. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Almost 300 years before the start of the series, a powerful earthbending warlord named Chin the Great had conquered most of the Earth Kingdom, save for Ba Sing Se and the peninsula home to Avatar Kyoshi. In order to protect her home, Kyoshi severed it from the rest of the continent, creating Kyoshi's island. As a consequence, Chin, who had been standing at the mouth of the peninsula, ended up plummeting to his death as the ground beneath him became unstable. The Legend of Korra: it's revealed that the Spirit Wilds that covered the globe during the Era of Raava were created when Vaatu first broke the barrier between the human and spirit worlds. Following Korra's defeat of Unavaatu, part of Republic City gets covered with vines from the Spirit World. After bending the energy of the spirit cannon during the final episode of the series, Korra ends up creating a third spirit portal, leaving a vine covered crater around it. |

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, according to legend the Lake of Rage was formed from a bunch of Gyarados creating a massive storm that left a giant crater, which then filled with rainwater, creating the lake we know today. Visiting Kanto in the postgame reveals that during the Time Skip between the first and second generations, Cinnabar Island had a volcanic eruption that destroyed it. Only a Pokemon Center remains of the town, and Blaine has moved his Gym Leader battle location to the nearby Seafoam Islands. |

The Legend of Zelda: In the backstory of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the golden goddesses flooded Hyrule in order to save it from Ganon, creating the Great Sea and its many islands from the tallest mountains. Hyrule Castle and its surroundings are preserved in a shielded location beneath the ocean, but at the end of the game, King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule wishes on the Triforce that they be washed away by the ocean entirely. In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the Lanayru Desert was originally a lush coastal area, before it dried out over the centuries, which you see whenever Link activates a Timeshift Stone. This happens in the opening of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as Ganondorf's awakening causes a massively destructive event dubbed The Upheaval, resulting in large portions of Hyrule looking radically different from how it appeared in Breath of the Wild, including the appearance of huge chasms, islands in the sky, ancient ruins falling from above, pools of corrupting Gloom everywhere, and of course Hyrule Castle rising into the sky. This is on top of changes that are not directly caused by the Upheaval, such as quicksand pits appearing in the Gerudo Desert, the lava on Death Mountain receding, and many caves opening up across the land. |

Halo: The Covenant used a tactic called Glassing, which involves Orbital Bombardment with heavy plasma weaponry, turning everything on the surface- rocks, soil, buildings- into a molten mess that cools and hardens to form barren fields of lechatelierite, while bodies of water are either vaporized or left contaminated with ash and the atmosphere may be boiled off. This process has been used to render entire planets uninhabitable, and while it can be reversed via terraforming, doing so takes centuries. That having been said, the Covenant's potential to "glass" entire planets is subject to a strong degree of exaggeration In-Universe. While they certainly have the capacity to reduce an entire planet's surface to glass using their energy weapons, they tend to focus on population centers; glassing a whole world requires huge amounts of time and resources, something they can't expend at will during a war. |

In Distress, most of the artificial island Stateless floats unconnected to the ocean floor, thanks to lithophilic bacteria that keep it lighter than water. When EnGeneUity occupies the central city, the citizens flee to the edges of the island. Stateless's militia has the lithophiles degass the central area, causing it to sink, drowning the invaders and replacing the city with a lagoon. | |

Forgotten Realms: 4th Edition saw the Spellplague (brought on by the murder of Mystra, goddess of magic) haphazardly combine the Alternate Universes of Toril and Abeir, resulting in entire regions switching places between them. This resulted in among other things huge sections of the Underdark being turned into open chasms, the appearance of "earthmotes" (floating islands created by sections of Abeiran mountains being transported into corresponding locations on Toril that were open sky), and even the transplantation of a whole continent to Toril (to explain away dragonborns becoming a core race). Then the whole thing got a do-over in 5th Edition: Ao re-severed the dual worlds and restored Mystra, causing the transplanted geographies to start obeying the laws of physics again: the earthmotes came crashing down to earth. | |

The nuclear war in 1983: Doomsday devastated much of the world. The Netherlands lost much of its levee system and is now a forgotten land buried under a brackish, radioactive swamp. New York City was hit with so many nukes that, when scouts finally arrived back in the city a few years later, they found open water where Manhattan and Brooklyn used to be. | |

It's not yet confirmed if the major geographic divergences in Steven Universe are due to the Gems' alien interference and advanced terraforming technology, but it's been heavily implied. These changes include: Florida being an island; Australia divided by a winding trench; a large chunk of western Africa seemingly moved across the Atlantic and stuck onto South America with an island chain between them; and the region of Siberia being largely replaced by a massive sea. Gem activity has also been shown to have created large swathes of rugged, infertile terrain in the process of incubating new Gem soldiers. | |

Kris Longknife: Worlds that have been attacked by the Planet Looters that Kris fights from Daring to Unrelenting essentially get strip-mined, with population centers destroyed by Orbital Bombardment, the oceans drained, and every easily accessible natural resource looted. They've even been known to reduce gas giant planets to shells of themselves to feed the millions of fusion reactors in their clan fleets. It's as much a religious exercise for the Planet Looters as a practical one: they're obsessed with obliterating any species in the galaxy that could pose them a threat, and until they encounter humanity and the Iteeche they've met no opposition. As a way of establishing just how long the Iteeche have been a spacefaring civilization, when Kris visits their homeworld in Emissary, she observes that the Iteeche have taken so much water from their oceans for starship reaction mass over the centuries that the sea level drop is visible from orbit. |

Star Trek: In the Backstory to Sisko's plot in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Storyteller", Cardassian miners diverted the route of the River Glyrhond for their own purposes, disrupting a treaty between two local tribes that had set the river as their border. Now that the Cardassians have withdrawn, Sisko is stuck mediating the resulting border dispute. Star Trek: Voyager: "Future's End" makes mention of the Hermosa earthquake that hits Los Angeles in 2047, causing it to partially sink into the Pacific. By the 24th century, it's become the world's largest coral reef. According to "Distant Origin", Earth used to have an eighth continent that was the original home of the Voth, a race of Rubber-Forehead Aliens descended from hadrosaurs. The episode states that it was destroyed after they left Earth for space en masse. |

In the Horus Heresy series, after Horus manipulates the Emperor's orders to capture Magnus the Red, Leman Russ and the Space Wolves proceed to utterly devastate Magnus' homeworld of Prospero. A mix of orbital strikes, lasers, mass drivers, gravity bombs, targeted missiles, magma bombs, and atomic bombs rendered the planet unrecognizable. Cities were annihilated, mountains fell, valleys were filled with debris, seas flash-boiled, the surface was scoured by super-heated winds, and the bedrock itself was reshaped like molten metal on an anvil. Only one city, Tizca, survived the assault thanks to a psychic shield raised by the Thousand Sons. However, after this bombing, the Space Wolves landed on the planet and attacked the city. By the end, only 30 million of the world's civilians managed to escape. | |

In the backstory of Mass Effect, an unknown civilization fired a kinetic weapon with such power that a glancing blow from its bullet left the planet Klendagon with a rift hundreds of kilometers long. Mass Effect has a sidequest set on that planet's moon, giving you an ample opportunity to see the rift with your own eyes. In Mass Effect 2, Cerberus has managed to calculate where it came from, finding both the weapon and the now-disabled Reaper it was aimed at... in a completely different star system. | |

Gundam: During the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon attempted to drop a depopulated colony onto The Federation's base in South America. Unfortunately, they miscalculated and the colony fell onto Sydney, Australia. This resulted in a massive explosion that vaporized the city and much of the surrounding landscape, leaving behind a 500-kilometer-wide crater known as the Gulf of Sydney. An early scene in 0083 highlights this, with a civilian who's never set foot on the planet before admiring the endless ocean she's currently flying over, asking the captain when they'll arrive in Australia, and being told they're technically already over it. | |

Supergod has a few cases of this. Unsurprising, considering it features an arms race involving superpowered beings. When Pakistan attempts to nuke Krishina, he responds by sending them back, turning Pakistan into a radioactive lava pit. Malak, Iran's attempt at creating an angel, generates a field that deconstructs all matter around himself. He destroys Tehran and makes his way to India, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. When Krishina throws him into space, he collides with the moon, causing it to partially disintegrate. The effects this has on Earth are catastrophic, to say the least.◊ The crowning achievement, however, has to go to Dajjal, one of the American superweapons (specifically, one made to go after the Middle East). He detonates his power source to commit suicide that destroys not only Jerry (the other American superhuman) and Krishna, but also causing an explosion that obliterates most of Eurasia. | |

Annihilation Events in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 occur in locations where too much of Aionios' mysterious black fog is concentrated, resulting in perfectly spherical gaps where once land existed. The Queens of Agnus and Keves (or, rather, robotic duplicates of them under Moebius control eventually come to weaponise these phenomena in the form of gigantic laser cannons atop their castles, one of which is used to seemingly destroy the City in the hilt of Swordmarch.

In Red vs. Blue, when talking about Project Freelancer, Tex mentions that there are only 49 states, which leads to Tucker stating "poor Florida." This reflected in later seasons, where Florida is no longer visible on the American continent and the United States' flag only has 49 stars.

Cyberpunk: In 1997, a thermonuclear war broke out in the Middle East. Called the Mideast Meltdown or the Suicide War, nations such as Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Chad and the UAE have been reduced to nothing but fields of radioactive glass and slag. Cyberpunk 2077 also confirms that irradiated dust storms from these wastelands blow into Turkey, the Mediterranean and Europe annually. | |

One Piece: Akainu and Aokiji's duel in Punk Hazard during the Time Skip drastically altered its geography: where it used to be full of greenery before, these days half of the island is a burning, volcanic wasteland littered with molten ruins, while the other half is a snowy, frozen mountain range. Both halves are separated by a massive crater that has since filled with sea water. When two Admirals fight to the death, a result such as this can be expected. The events of the Dressrosa arc massively and permanently alter the island's geography, what with a second King's Plateau being created by Pica and Luffy punching a crater from the surface into the island's underground port at the climax of his fight with Doflamingo. The Wano Country arc has Kaido lift Onigashima and the entirety of the island it was built upon from its original location in Wano's inner sea and move it to the Flower Capital during the Onigashima raid, though it's only thanks to Momonosuke that it manages to land safely after Kaido passes out and loses control of the flame clouds keeping the island in the air. Following the Marines' attempt to arrest Boa Hancock with assistance from the Seraphim, the mountain at the center of the island has been cleaved in half thanks to S-Hawk, a clone of Dracule Mihawk, who appears to have inherited his swordsmanship. |

Pokémon: Tyranitar's Pokédex entry states that it can knock down mountains and bury rivers when it's angry. Maps have to be redrawn accordingly. Aggron does the inverse of Tyranitar, restoring its environment after natural disasters such as landslides or file by hauling over topsoil and planting trees. In Pokémon Gold and Silver, according to legend the Lake of Rage was formed from a bunch of Gyarados creating a massive storm that left a giant crater, which then filled with rainwater, creating the lake we know today. Visiting Kanto in the postgame reveals that during the Time Skip between the first and second generations, Cinnabar Island had a volcanic eruption that destroyed it. Only a Pokemon Center remains of the town, and Blaine has moved his Gym Leader battle location to the nearby Seafoam Islands. Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: Kyogre possesses the ability to expand the oceans by flooding the land, while Groudon can expand the continents by raising land and boiling away the water. They did battle in ancient times. The battle repeats itself at the culmination of the Team Aqua/Team Magma B-plot, but the Player Character resolves the issue before any significant damage is done. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sootopolis City's new backstory has it being formed from a meteor striking the area where it's located now, rather than it being an extinct volcano crater like in the original. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Floraroma Town used to be a desolate hill until someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature and the entire hill burst into bloom, which is implied to have been the work of Shaymin. The evidence being that during the Oak's Letter event it turns the rocky hill both Lucas/Dawn and Professor Oak are standing into a grassy flower field after the former gives thanks for their journey, before heading off to the Flower Paradise. The Giant Chasm in Pokémon Black and White and its sequel was created from a meteor impact that is implied to have contained the original dragon that Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem all came from. |

Scrat directly causes this in Ice Age: Continental Drift, after somehow falling all the way to the Earth's core. His subsequent chase for his acorn created the continents of Africa, Australia and Europe by carving into the landscape of Pangaea itself. At the end of the movie, he sinks the mythical city of Scratlantis, not only draining the entirety of North America but creating Death Valley as well, which is something Scrat's not too thrilled about. | |

A creative example occurs in The Fairly OddParents! when Timmy wishes for an older brother. To explain his absence, Timmy states that he'd been studying medicine in Tibequador and then wishes that the country were real. Cosmo and Wanda situate the nation in Central America and it seems to be populated mostly by tribal peoples. Later, in Timmy the Barbarian, Mr. Crocker (as a powerful wizard) asks Timmy what the capital of Tibequador is, implying that the nation was never unwished. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium Exaggerated in The History of Middle-earth. Volume 10, Morgoth's Ring, describes how Sauron goaded King Ar-Pharazôn of Númenor to wage war on his erstwhile allies the Valar. In response, the Valar called on Eru Ilúvatar, who went Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies on Ar-Pharazôn's army, sank the entire continent of Númenor beneath the ocean, removed the regions of Aman and Tol Eressëa from the world entirely (to become the Undying Lands), and even made the entire Flat World Arda round. Similarly, at the end of the First Age, when the Host of the Valar marched to Middle-earth to finally stand against Morgoth, the battle was so destructive that it caused Beleriand (i.e. the entire northwestern portion of Middle-earth) to sink. |

In You Can (Not) Redo, the Near Third Impact has left the Earth even more devastated. Tokyo-3 and the surrounding landscape is a wasteland full of ruins, craters, upheaval, blood-like smears and huge red crosses. Much of the planet is also scarred by vast fissures, one of which looks like a huge mouth with rows of teeth. Additionally, the moon is now much closer, is no longer tidally locked, and is also covered with blood smears. What remained of the biosphere is now destroyed and fewer than ten million humans have survived. | |

Lex Luthor's plan in Superman: The Movie is to pull off an epic (and apocalyptic) real estate con by buying all of the land he can in the Mojave Desert and then sinking California via launching a nuke to the San Andreas Fault so all of the land he purchased will become prime coast estate. Several In-Universe years (most of them in jail) later, Luthor didn't learn his lesson: Superman Returns involves him trying to create an entirely new continent in the Atlantic utilizing Kryptonian technology. This will destroy most of North America and cause cataclysmic damage to the rest of the world. He intends to force them to turn to him as a savior. |

Shadowrun: February 2011 brought the Black Tide, a storm surge from the heavily polluted North Sea that drowned large parts of the Netherlands, Northern Germany and the Denmark Jutland. Most of the waters don't recede, leaving cities like Hamburg partially flooded. In 2012, an earthquake hits the Russian Far East, splitting the Kamchatka peninsula off from Siberia and forming a kilometer-wide channel. This allows the land to remain under control of the Russian Republic. Played With in California. In 2069, two major earthquakes known as The Twins (which measured 9.2 and 9.6 on the Richter Scale) hit Los Angeles, causing parts of Southern California and Central Valley to fall below sea level, and after being hit with a tsunami, Los Angeles and other coastal cities are cut off from the mainland, effectively becoming islands. However, it's noted this happened in defiance of plate tectonics; the sinking seems to have been something that occurred simultaneously with the quakes but was not caused by them. Some parts of the city are now tens of meters underwater, yet the buildings are completely intact and undamaged. It's later discovered that the topography of the area has significantly changed, with a vast network of astral constructs in the form of underground tunnels and lagoon-sized sinkholes appearing beneath California. This unnatural phenomenon is named the Deep Lacuna. |

In Last and First Men, the World State of the First Men came to an end due to a combination of a catastrophic energy crisis, the ensuing starvation and mass rioting, accidental releases of the ancient nerve plague, and, most extreme, a riot in a mine leads to a colossal explosion. The resulting radiation then triggered an underground chain reaction that snaked its way up from Patagonia into North America and then across the Bering Sea into Eurasia and Africa. Global volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, the melting of the ice caps and atmospheric contamination resulted in the death of all but thirty-five members of the human race, who were at a research station in the North Pole. | |

Mistborn's world of Scadrial has had a couple, courtesy of an artifact that bestows the power of a Piece of God for a few seconds every millennium: In the Lord Ruler's Ascension, he moved his home country's mountain ranges, just to hide the evidence of his Ascension, and raised the Mordor-esque volcanoes that cover his Empire in ash in order to prevent the increased levels of sunlight - also his doing - from setting the whole planet on fire. In the Final Ascension of Sazed, he fixes the damage the Lord Ruler caused the planet and creates a perfectly fertile river basin to nurture the new civilization. |

Star Trek: Voyager: "Future's End" makes mention of the Hermosa earthquake that hits Los Angeles in 2047, causing it to partially sink into the Pacific. By the 24th century, it's become the world's largest coral reef. According to "Distant Origin", Earth used to have an eighth continent that was the original home of the Voth, a race of Rubber-Forehead Aliens descended from hadrosaurs. The episode states that it was destroyed after they left Earth for space en masse. |

RCN: In the backstory, The War of Earthly Aggression ended about a thousand years ago with a massive asteroid bombardment that left the planet's geography unrecognizable. The plot of book three starts out as a treasure hunt for a large diamond engraved with the pre-bombardment continents. | |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire: Kyogre possesses the ability to expand the oceans by flooding the land, while Groudon can expand the continents by raising land and boiling away the water. They did battle in ancient times. The battle repeats itself at the culmination of the Team Aqua/Team Magma B-plot, but the Player Character resolves the issue before any significant damage is done. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sootopolis City's new backstory has it being formed from a meteor striking the area where it's located now, rather than it being an extinct volcano crater like in the original. |

A similar event only a few thousand years ago that expanded the Black Sea (the evidence is visible in observation of the now-underwater ancient shoreline, and in fossilized freshwater shellfish that couldn't survive in its current salty water) is thought by some archaeologists to have inspired the flood myths prevalent in a number of cultures, including Utnapishtim's tale in The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Noah's Ark narrative in Genesis 6-9. | |

This happens in the opening of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as Ganondorf's awakening causes a massively destructive event dubbed The Upheaval, resulting in large portions of Hyrule looking radically different from how it appeared in Breath of the Wild, including the appearance of huge chasms, islands in the sky, ancient ruins falling from above, pools of corrupting Gloom everywhere, and of course Hyrule Castle rising into the sky. This is on top of changes that are not directly caused by the Upheaval, such as quicksand pits appearing in the Gerudo Desert, the lava on Death Mountain receding, and many caves opening up across the land. | |

Mortal Engines: During the Sixty Minute War, the Earth's geography was forever changed. South China was flooded, Antarctica de-frosted, seas moved around, pretty much everything north of New York City froze solid, and Central America ceased to exist. | |

Gamma World 1st Edition. The epic battle between the terrorist group The Apocalypse and its opponents released powerful energies that caused continents to buckle and oceans to boil, massively changing the surface of the Earth. Among other things, it caused inland seas to appear in the North American continent. | |
