Shear Stress
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
The type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is transform stress. This stress occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing displacement along a fault line. Strike-slip faults are often associated with transform plate boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
A strike-slip fault would create landforms through shearing stress. In a strike-slip fault, two blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally, causing a horizontal shearing stress that can result in landforms such as fault scarps or offset river channels.

Stress forms a fault not the other way round.
Yes, a strike-slip fault is caused by shearing.
Strike-slip Faults
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.
The Hayward Fault is a Strike-slip Fault.
