I was thinking more of pressure along a fault, than erosion.

I was pointing out the rise and fall of the Dead Sea over time. Your point of fault movement resulting from the weight of the water as well as the lubrication of the fault contact surfaces produces EQ’s is correct. Many of the EQ’s
are very local in nature but they do occur. The current flooding of the Yangze River Valley is an example.
