Not all earthquake faults behave the same. Some stick and snap, causing earthquakes. Others move slowly over time.For years, the leading explanation for slow-moving faults has been that high-pressure fluids along the fault lubricate it, allowing the slabs to slide steadily rather than building up stress until that stress is eventually released in a large, destructive earthquake.
