A strike slip fault.
A strike slip or transform fault is caused by shearing forces.
Shear stress causes Transform faults, in strike-slip zones of conservative boundaries.
Strike slip faults are formed as a result of shear stresses. However strictly speaking all faults are in a shear stress state as there is usually movement in differing directions along both sides of the fault however in the other cases, compressive or tensile stresses are the cause of the initial fault formation.

a reverse fault, a fault in which the faults push together. rocks above the fault move up. ex. the Himalayas

Shear Stress.
There can never be TENSION in the Earth (gravity is squeezing the whole Earth up).So no type of fault can be the product of tension.Faults of varying varieties happen when the relative magnitude of the maximum and minimum compression forces change and or change direction.Normally the vertical force (gravity) is the maximum force and transverse faults (with vertical fault planes) happen the ratio of the horizontal compressive forces (which are at tight angles to one another) exceeds the shear strength of the rock.Normal faults occur when the ratio between the gravity and one or other of the horizontal forces exceeds the shear strength of the rock.Reverse faults occur when the ratio between an horizontal force and the vertical force exceeds the shear strength of the rock.
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
The type of force found in a strike slip fault is lateral force.
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
