The cause of Strike-Slip faults are the formation of transform boundarys. My soures: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_plate_boundary_causes_a_strike_slip_fault The answer: I am certain that the answer is the transform boundary. The only thing I don't quite know is what is the difference from a boundary and a fault but I am 100% certain that the answer to your question is the transform boundary.

Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
What are faults in california?

What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.
What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
