Convergent boundaries.
a convergent boundary causes compression
this is compression
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
The type of force found in a strike slip fault is lateral force.
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.

Shear stress: At a transform boundary, two plates are moving past each other, either in opposite directions or both in the same direction but at differing speeds. As the boundary between the two plates is not perfectly smooth there will be some interlocking along the boundary. As the plates continue to move and this interlocking resists movement, shear stresses develop.
