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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the hypothesis that evolution occurs at an irregular rate through geologic time?

What is the name of the hypothesis that suggests that evolution occurs at a slow constant rate?
Others have said twice: it is called Punctuated Equilibrium.
What is the name of the hypothesis that helps explain enzyme functioning?
The lock and key hypothesis explains enzyme functioning. It suggests that enzymes and substrates fit together like a lock and key, with specific enzyme-active sites binding to specific substrates to catalyze reactions.

Which dream theory proposes that your brains make up stories out of the random neural activity that occurs while you sleep?
There is no specific name to this theory as stated in the question. You might be thinking of Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis of Hobson and McCarley, or perhaps the Reverse-Learning Hypothesis of Crick and Mitchison. See the Wikipedia link below.
What is the name of the theory that explains how forces deep within earth can cause ocean floors and continents to move?
The theory you are referring to is called plate tectonics. It explains how the lithosphere (Earth's outer layer) is divided into several large rigid plates that move and interact with each other, causing phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the shaping of the Earth's surface.
What name is given to the study of earthquakes?
Seismology.
