shearing
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
The type of force found in a strike slip fault is lateral force.
Tensional force and compressional force.
compression
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
A Force applied to an object will cause a displacement. Strain is effectively a measure of this displacement (change in length divided by original length). Stress is the Force applied divided by the area it is applied to. (eg. pounds per square inch) So, to answer the question, it is the applied Force that produces both stress and strain. Stress and strain are linked together by various material properties such as Poisson's ratio and Young's Modulus.
There is NO SUCH THING as "strain energy"Strain is the response of a system to an applied stress. When a material is loaded with a force, it produces a stress, which then causes a material to deform. Engineering strain is defined as the amount of deformation in the direction of the applied force divided by the initial length of the material.Thus the energy is the FORCE - the stress.The stresses present in a fault system are caused by the convection currents in Earth's mantle (driven by the heat in Earth's core). Once the stress builds up to a point that exceeds the strength of the rocks comprising the fault system, the rock fractures and moves and this is the strain.

Stress is a force acting on certain area. Stress equals force divided by area.
