Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
A fault with horizontal movement is called a strike slip fault.
A horizontally moving fault is called a strike-slip fault
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.
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.

Strike-slip Fault
A horizontally moving fault is called a strike-slip fault
Generically a "fault" but there could also be an "earthquake" associated with this fracturing. A fault with where all the movement is horizontal is called a "transverse" fault. but it must be understood that there is a component of horizontal movement associated with Thrust, Reverse and Normal faults too.

A creep meter is a wire stretched across a fault to measure the horizontal movement from the ground.

A Creep Meter uses a wire stretched across a fault to measure horizontal movement of the ground.
