Explanation:
Earthquakes have been known to change the course of a river in a number of ways. The most common through landslides making a natural dam that blocks the flow of the water. This usually happens in canyon areas. Another that happens in valley areas is when the earthquake breaks the due to seismic movement. A third that can happen is the earthquake forces the river to flow backwards due to the violent seismic movement. This type event happened during the New Madrid earthquake of February 21 1812 when the Mississippi River flowed backwards for a few hours.
