An ocean earthquake commonly occurs between 200 and 1,000 years. As the pressure of floating plates bouncing against a continental plate rises, the continental plate starts pushing back. This causes an ocean floor island to recede underwater until the pressure is too great.
Earthquakes occur in the oceans as well as on land because the seafloor is made of crust just like the continents we live on. A tsunami, which is a series of large water waves caused by an earthquake, landslide, or volcano, occurs when one of these natural phenomena vertically displaces the water.
