up or down motion
What type of rock occurs on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other?
Slickensides.
In a strike slip fault the rocks on either side of the slip past each other with little?
Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.
What is a rupture of geological fault?
Faulting is when rocks deform in a brittle fashion and break, and then movement occurs along these fractures.
What fault moves sideways past each other?
This is called a strike slip fault.
Which fault occurs in a sideways fashion?
Strike slip faults display horizontal or "sideways" deformation.

The point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
The epicenter is the point where motion begins on a fault line in the event of an earthquake. This location is seen as the origin of the earthquake itself and can help determine how much damage has been done in different areas.
The location within earth along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
the first motion of an earthquake occurs in the epicenter.
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
