please.? Please could you translate this paragraph into simpler words please:

The focus of the earthquake was less than 20 km below Awaji-shima, an island in the Japan Inland Sea. The earthquake was particularly devastating because it had a shallow focus. The earthquake had a "strike-slip mechanism." The resulting surface rupture had an average horizontal displacement of about 1.5 meters on the Nojima fault. This fault which runs along the northwest shore of Awaji Island.


Thank You
