What else can I help you with?
What stress causes a slip-strike fault?
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
How is a dip-slip fault different from 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.
What type of fault is the hayward fault?
The Hayward Fault is a Strike-slip Fault.
What is the definition for strike slip fault?
Strike slip fault - Look it up!
What is the main difference between a dip slip fault and a strike slip fault?
The main difference between a dip-slip fault and a strike-slip fault is the direction of movement. In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the dip direction of the fault plane, either up or down. In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the strike direction of the fault plane, either to the left or right.
What fault causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other?
The fault type that causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other is a strike-slip fault. In a strike-slip fault, rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other, leading to twisting and straining along the fault zone. This type of movement is typical in transform plate boundaries such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
Is the San Andreas Fault a dip-slip fault?
No. It is a strike-slip fault.
Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
What is a oblique-slip fault?
A fault that is a combination of dip-slip and strike-slip movements
What type of fault is caused by shear faults?
A strike slip fault.
What occurs when opposing forces causes rocks to break and move horizontally?
The answer is Strike-Slip Fault.
What fault will occur at a transform boundary?
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
