Earthquake in Afghansitan

In trying to find a weather article that hasn't already been used today, I read on the weather channel website that an earthquake happened in Afghanistan today and I wondered if earthquakes were at all weather related. Earthquakes happen below the earth's surface and out of the atmosphere so it doesn't really seem plausible that they are related to weather. And I discovered that they are indeed not related to weather but sometimes may seem connected to a big weather event. Major storm systems associated with low pressure changes in the atmosphere can induce fault slips and then earthquakes. When stresses in the Earth's outer layer push the sides of a fault together, causing rocks to slip and energy to be released, then earthquakes happen. In conclusion, sometimes earthquakes happen following a big weather event and sometimes they don't.
