Transform fault
Yes, that is correct. In a Strike Slip fault, the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other in a predominantly lateral motion. This is in contrast to other types of faults where rocks move vertically or at different angles in relation to 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.

The rocks move past each other horizontally.
A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks can slide past each other due to tectonic forces.
Rocks that occur on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other are typically classified as transform fault rocks. These rocks experience shearing forces as they slide horizontally past each other, leading to observable features like fault gouge and striations.

No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
It is a transform fault where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other. This motion is caused by shearing forces that result in horizontal displacement along the fault line. Examples of transform faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.
