There is no set timing. Faults move when pressure has built up sufficiently. Unfortunately we cannot predict such events.

How do the rocks in a strike-slip fault move?

It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.


What is the plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs?

The plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs is often along a fault line, where two tectonic plates are in contact. When stress builds up along the fault line and is released suddenly, it causes the plates to move, resulting in an earthquake.

What kind of fault happens under the ocean?

the answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!


What relationship exists between focus of earthquake and fault in earth's crust?

The focus of an earthquake, also known as the hypocenter, is the point in the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released. The depth of the focus can vary, and it is typically associated with the location of the fault where the earthquake originates. The fault is the fracture in the Earth's crust where the tectonic plates move past each other, causing stress to build up and eventually lead to an earthquake.
