Question

Is there any relation between dam and earthquake ?explain

Answer 1

The dams are installed to reserve flowing water.

Doesn't it seem impossible that we could impact the Earth enough? Due to storage of tons of water in the dam, there is weakening of the faults and the stress caused by it is enough to induce earthquakes.  

The platonic plates are disturbed and when they move, they cause an earthquake.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dams by itself do not cause any earthquake. The purpose of any dam is to impound the flowing water. This leads to formation of reservoir in which a large portion of land is submerged along with the river course on which the dam is made.
