A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called a?
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.
Faults undergoing movement that is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface are called?
Faults which appear to have displaced rock strata horizontally are called strike slip faults. The two blocks that have been displaced move in opposite directions along the fault line.

What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
Which fault occurs in a sideways fashion?
Strike slip faults display horizontal or "sideways" deformation.
