p......... ignore the "p......." but um plate tectonics shifting is what is causing that. (earths crustal plates) and its called a transform boundry if theyre sliding past each other. a convergent boundry if they -><- hit each other and divergent if they <--> pull away. and because of that and sea floor spreading the Pacific Ocean gets smaller by 2.5 cm each year while the Atlantic Ocean gets bigger by about 2.5 cm each year...... ------- nichole brooks did this :)

A strike slip fault
What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?

When rocks break they move along the surface called?

Is this sentence correct as rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
