I don't understand how lifting the earth and then creating an earthquake would have any difference from a normal one, the earthquake isn't what does the damage, it's the consequences of it which you should look out for. Likewise, dropping with or without an earthquake would also have the same effectivity. Sure, both Devil Fruits are ground related but in terms of damage, from what I can see, they have no relation whatsoever.
