Is it possible to slip upwards?

No, it isn't. If you mean slip as in 'fall over', then no. The correct world would be 'slide'.


Do horses fall over on ice?

Horses can slip and fall on ice, similar to how humans can. It's important for horses to have proper hoof care and for their handlers to be careful when navigating icy surfaces to help prevent accidents. Using traction devices on hooves or keeping horses in sheltered areas during icy conditions can also help reduce the risk of falling.


What is a oblique slip fault?

An oblique slip fault is a type of fault where the movement is a combination of both strike-slip and dip-slip motion. This means that the fault moves both horizontally and vertically. Oblique slip faults are common in areas where different stresses are acting on the Earth's crust, causing complex fault movements.


In structural geology what's the difference between true slip and net slip in the context of faults?

True Slip and Net Slip are the same thing. We typically use the term "Net Slip" for the slip vector on a fault that describes the magnitude (length) and orientation (trend and plunge) of a line between two formerly adjacent points.


What is the main difference between a dip slip fault and a strike slip fault?

The main difference between a dip-slip fault and a strike-slip fault is the direction of movement. In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the dip direction of the fault plane, either up or down. In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the strike direction of the fault plane, either to the left or right.
