How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?

An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.

When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?

When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).

What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?

A fractured surface on Earth's crust when a mass of rocks is in motion is known as a fault. It occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fracture line. This movement can result in earthquakes as energy is released when the rocks slide past each other along the fault.
