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.
