If you have two metal plates rubbing together, they do it a lot better if there is a layer of oil between them. Same with layers of rocks in the earth. The oil deposits make the slips slide past one another a bit easier and a lot of small earthquakes instead of the energy of compression or expansion building and building and then bursting in one humungus earthquake. The same with water being drawn out of the water table, water is a good lube too. We are doing it to ourselves, just ask the Chinese and the Indonesians about it.
Does that mean the Earth will start to Rust and squeak as it turns 😀

Some day the entire region will collapse upon itself and be destroyed.
