Answer:
By continuously sliding the two plates past each other with the “tab” edges touching (Figure 5), the foam pieces represent lithospheric plates and the “zone” where the plates touch is a strike-slip (transform) fault. ... At other times, a larger segment of the fault will slip, representing a larger earthquake.
