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 are caused by the movements of the huge tectonic plates that make up Earthâs outer crust. Driven by currents in the semi-molten layer below the crust, the plates slowly drift over Earthâs surface and collide, grind together, or pull apart.
