Basically what its saying is that when a tectonic plate slips past another and when that happens its called a fault or fault plane‚ but when a earthquake happens it has been proven that it can deform the earths crust permanently.

The art of wave riding (‘he’enalu’‚ in old Hawaiian) was practiced in many coastal locations around the tropics among Pacific Islanders. "He’e" means to go from a solid to a liquid and "nalu" means surfing motion of a wave.

When waves are huge and high‚ the backwash is more powerful than the swash‚ removing more loose material than it deposits. These types of waves are known as destructive waves. The

nature. Six kinds of shock waves are generated in the process. Two are classified as body waves‚ that is‚ they travel through the inside of the earth and the other four are surface waves. The waves are further classified by the kinds of motions they incur to rock particles. Primary or compressional waves‚ known as P waves‚ send particles moving back and forth in the same direction as the waves are traveling‚ as secondary or transverse shear waves‚ known as S waves‚ create vibrations perpendicular
