Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.

Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.
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 fault with little or no vertical movement is called a strike-slip fault. In this type of fault, the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other, usually in a side-to-side motion. This movement can cause earthquakes when the stress along the fault overcomes friction and the rocks suddenly slip.
Rocks that occur on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other are typically classified as transform fault rocks. These rocks experience shearing forces as they slide horizontally past each other, leading to observable features like fault gouge and striations.
