Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.

=Yes!=
Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.
The type of fault that exhibits sideways motion is called a strike-slip fault. In this faulting mechanism, the movement of rocks on either side of the fault line occurs horizontally, parallel to the fault plane. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California. These faults are typically associated with shear stress and are common at transform plate boundaries.
A strike-slip fault involves a sideways motion where two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is typically associated with transform plate boundaries. The movement is primarily lateral, with little to no vertical displacement. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
This is called a strike slip fault.
Strike slip faults display horizontal or "sideways" deformation.
This type of movement is known as strike-slip faulting, where rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other with little vertical displacement. This typically occurs along transform plate boundaries where two tectonic plates slide horizontally against each other. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Horizontal sideways movements.
Slip/slide fault
move sideways past each other
A strike-slip fault is the type of fault that primarily moves sideways. In this fault type, the movement occurs horizontally along the fault line, with rocks on either side sliding past each other. This lateral movement can be observed in regions where tectonic plates slide against one another, often leading to significant seismic activity. A well-known example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
