Does an earthquake mean there is a movement in the earths crust?
yes and no
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.
What happens to earths Crust after earthquake?
After the earthquake, the crust has been repositioned, and frictional tension at fault lines once again begins to mount until the next earthquake.
What causes faults in Earths crust?
The constant plate movement
How is most of the energy of an earthquake transported through the earths crust?

What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What is a crak in the earths crust that can lead to an earthquake called?
