How could anyone's (bad) behavior have a causal effect upon earthquakes, tidal waves, tornadoes, and such?
How could committing a sin have an effect upon plate tectonics, etc.?
In the event that you say that it "simply can" - then I'd ask: Is this principle (sin -> dislocation of tectonic plates) still valid today?

All of creation was cursed. Everything in the earth and on it. That includes the earth itself. Adam was told that he would now have to till the earth and that it would reward him with weeds. The earth, and man, has been devolving.
