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.
