it occurs along a transform boundary
No. They can form anywhere on Earth's surface / within the lithosphere that is affected by shear stress. For example the fault that caused the 2010 Haitian earthquake was a strike slip fault.
Strike-slip fault
A strike-slip or transform fault.
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
strike slip
strike slip fault occur every single day throught the united states
normal and rivesre fault, thrust fault, dip-strike fault.
They Can occur anywere a Fault Line is on Earth They happen when earths crust releases and the Fault Line send out Energy =p
We can find strike slip fault between two tectonic plates. For exemple; San Andreas fault in California is a strike slip fault and represent the limit between America plate and Pacifique plate. These two plates move with an inverse movement(~1 towards the north and ~1 toward the south). But we can also find this kind of fault in other context like in a colision.
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
it happened on a blind fault (one where the fault line does not reach the surface)
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
