The Elastic-Rebound theory explains how earthquakes occur. Rocks on opposite sides of a fault are subjected to force, causing them to shift. They absorb strength which causes them to deform and exceed their internal strength. A sudden movement occurs along the fault and this causes the energy and rocks to go back to their pre-deformed state.
