What is the fault between two plates moving sideways past each other called?

The fault between two plates moving sideways past each other is called a transform fault. This type of fault occurs at transform boundaries where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other.


What type of rock occurs on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other?

Rocks that occur on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other are typically classified as transform fault rocks. These rocks experience shearing forces as they slide horizontally past each other, leading to observable features like fault gouge and striations.


What fault moves sideways past each other?

What is the movement asociated with a strike slip fault?

What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?

It is a transform fault where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other. This motion is caused by shearing forces that result in horizontal displacement along the fault line. Examples of transform faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.


When does fault comes?

A fracture is when rock splits (cracks). A fault is when a fracture has slipped - movement either up, down or sideways.

Which type of fault involves a sideways motion?

A strike-slip fault involves a sideways motion where two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is typically associated with transform plate boundaries. The movement is primarily lateral, with little to no vertical displacement. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.


What fault occurs at convergent boundarys?

When do page Page fault occur?

The Page Fault does occurs when there is unexpected event that has occurred in Windows. When the Page Fault occurs it is not possible for the hardware to function.
