Pushing and rumbling of the surface can create earthquakes, which are caused by the release of energy stored in the Earth's crust. This movement can result in the shifting of tectonic plates and the propagation of seismic waves that can cause ground shaking.

The force pushing on a surface or area is called pressure. It is defined as the amount of force applied per unit area of the surface.
The main causes of friction are roughness of surfaces, the force pushing the surfaces together, and the type of materials involved. Friction occurs when these factors create resistance to the motion of an object across a surface.
The force pushing up is called the normal force. It acts perpendicular to the surface an object is resting on, counteracting the force of gravity.
The pushing force acting upwards from the ground is called the normal force. It is a reaction force that occurs when an object is in contact with a surface and prevents the object from falling through the surface. The normal force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the object on the surface.
The force involved while pushing a box with a rod is typically a combination of your applied force (pushing with the rod) and frictional forces between the box and the surface it's on. The applied force from the rod helps overcome the static friction between the box and the surface, allowing the box to move.
