A strike-slip fault
A transverse fault
A strike-slip fault
A strike-slip fault is formed from horizontal shearing between plates. This type of fault occurs when the plates move past each other horizontally in opposite directions. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.

A strike slip fault.
A strike-slip fault has a shearing force, where the two blocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. This type of fault is characterized by lateral movement along the fault line caused by horizontal forces.
A shearing fault is a type of fault in geology where the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. This movement is typically parallel to the fault plane, causing a lateral displacement in the rock layers. Shearing faults are commonly associated with transform plate boundaries.
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
Horizontal shearing can result in strike-slip faults, where two plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is common along transform boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
A fault that results from horizontal shearing between tectonic plates is called a strike-slip fault. In this type of fault, the movement is primarily horizontal, with the blocks of crust sliding past one another laterally. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a strike-slip fault, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate move in opposite horizontal directions.
