strike-slip faults move along each other from shearing
In geology, shearing occurs when rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The kind of fault created by shearing is called a strike-slip fault.

Also called transform faults, strike-slip faults involve a movement that is horizontal with a block of rock on one side of the fault moving in one direction, the other block of rock moving in the other direction. --> <--

Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
Yes, a strike-slip fault is caused by shearing.

The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
