Strike-slip faults indicate rocks are sliding past each other horizontally, with little to no vertical movement. Both the San Andreas and Anatolian Faults are strike-slip.

Which type of plate movement occurs at transform boundaries?
strike-slip
A place where two plate slip past each other moving in opposite directions is known as?
a strike-slip fault
Where do strike slip faults occur?
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.
What is the main difference between a dip slip fault and a strike slip fault?
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
What kind of boundary is the San Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform boundary that extends roughly 810 miles (1,300 km) through California, forming the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).
At what type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found near?
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
What is the plate movement of the San Andreas fault?
strike-slip
What are the all the boundary?
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
Which type of plate movement occurs at transform boundaries?
strike-slip
What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found at?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found at?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What type of rock forms around a transform plate boundaries?
Strike-slip
A place where two plate slip past each other moving in opposite directions is known as?
a strike-slip fault
What is the most common type of deformation at transform plate boundary?
Strike-Slip Faulting
What does strike slip faults cause?
They can cause earthquakes or plate movements, depends how big it was. -bkinishi@yahoo.com
Explain how tectonic forces created the san Andreas fault zone?
The San Andreas fault is an example of a strike-slip fault. It is located at a transform boundary, and was created when the Pacific plate and North American plate ground past one another horizontally.
