Wikipedia definition
1. Elastic-rebound theory​The elastic rebound theory is an explanation for how energy is spread during earthquakes. As rocks on opposite sides of a fault are subjected to force and shift, they accumulate energy and slowly deform until their internal strength is exceeded. At that time, a sudden movement occurs along the fault, releasing the accumulated energy, and the rocks snap back to their original undeformed shape. In geology, the elastic rebound theory was the first theory to satisfactorily explain earthquakes.
