What is A fault with horizontal movement?
A horizontally moving fault is called a strike-slip fault
Faults undergoing movement that is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface are called?
Faults which appear to have displaced rock strata horizontally are called strike slip faults. The two blocks that have been displaced move in opposite directions along the fault line.
What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
normal fault
What is the slow continuous movement along a fault zone called?
creep
A fault with horizontal movement is called a what?
Strike-slip Fault
What is A fault with horizontal movement?
A horizontally moving fault is called a strike-slip fault
What kind of fault causes rock to move horizontally?
Generically a "fault" but there could also be an "earthquake" associated with this fracturing. A fault with where all the movement is horizontal is called a "transverse" fault. but it must be understood that there is a component of horizontal movement associated with Thrust, Reverse and Normal faults too.
What is the movement asociated with a strike slip fault?
Horizontal sideways movements.
Do creep meters and laser-ranging devices meaure horizontal fault movement?
yes
Do geologists use creep meter to measure the horizontal movement along a fault?
yea
Do creep meters and laser-ranging devices measure horizontal fault movement?
Yes, and so does a GPS satellite.
Creep meters and laser ranging devices measure horizontal fault movement?
Yes, and so does a GPS satellite.
How does the creep meter work?
A creep meter is a wire stretched across a fault to measure the horizontal movement from the ground.

How does a creep-meter works?
A Creep Meter uses a wire stretched across a fault to measure horizontal movement of the ground.
