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

A normal fault moves because it is under tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, creating space and tension that cause the fault to move.
At a spreading ocean ridge, you are likely to find a divergent boundary fault, known as a mid-ocean ridge fault. This type of fault is created as two tectonic plates move apart, causing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust at the ridge.
oceanic crust
it is a normal fault.
What happens during faulting is that there is some kind of sudden pressure put on a section of crust. This causes it to break or crack, causing a fault.
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is associated with convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide.
Generically a "fault" but there could also be an "earthquake" associated with this fracturing. A fault with where all the movement is horizontal is called a "transverse" fault. but it must be understood that there is a component of horizontal movement associated with Thrust, Reverse and Normal faults too.

Everybody's fault except the javanese.
