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.
During an earthquake caused by this movement, UNESCOâs International Tsunami Information Center says that amount of crust eaten up could be as little as a few miles of ocean floor to hundreds of miles, and it creates vertical displacement in which the land moves upward or downward.
