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.
The energy of an earthquake can be felt for many miles. The shockwaves can travel through the surface of the earth but they can also travel through the layers of the earth where they bounce off of matter inside the earth. Even following an earthquake, aftershocks can repeat over and over for days or months.
