strike slip
shearing
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.
no, it is a strike-slip fault, with a shearing motion

strike-slip
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
shearing
The deformation of a material so that its layers move laterally over each other. In geology, shearing bends, twists, and draws out rocks along a fault or thrust plane. Such shearing is sometimes accompanied by shattering or crushing of the rock near the fault. A shearing force acts parallel to a plane rather than perpendicularly. Shear stress is the force or forces applied tangentially to the surface of a body and causing bending, twisting, or drawing out of that body.
