  As a plate plunges(陷入)down into Earth’s interior(内部),it moves in fits and starts-sticking for a while, then slipping.When the locked zone gives way, parts of the seafloor may snap(弹起)upward like a diver’s springboard; other areas may sink downward.In the instant after the quake, the shape of the sea surface mirrors the seafloor below.But, just as quickly, gravity(重力)acts to return the sea surface to its original shape.
