وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
And the earth brings out its burdens. (Az-Zalzalah 99:2)
“Bringing out” is attributed to the earth, from which the burdens emerge by God's command. The earth is the location and locus associated with the occurrence.
This differs from the Pharaoh example: Pharaoh is associated through commanding responsibility, while the earth is associated as the place from which something emerges. Identifying the specific relation prevents vague classification.
