Astrike-slip fault it when the hanging wall and the footwall slide past each other.
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
No side is consistently the hanging wall or the footwall for the San Andreas Fault. Some parts of it dip east while others dip west. Since the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, which blocks form the hanging wall and footwall is not particularly important.
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
the oblique slip fault is a movement that has a combination of normal and strike-slip fault

The Hayward Fault is a Strike-slip Fault.
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
Strike slip fault - Look it up!

strike-slip has a horizontal motion
No. It is a strike-slip fault.
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
the oblique slip fault is a movement that has a combination of normal and strike-slip fault
