A slip-strike fault is one where the two areas move sideways with regard to one another. A normal fault is where one area drops down, and a reverse fault is one where an area is thrust upwards.

How is one type of wave distinguished from another?

Wave is a propagation of substance's or field disturbances. If disturbances are small, waves are linear. Simply they distinguished one from the other by their wavelength, frequency & geometrically - by wave front. There are cross-section (for example light - electromagnetic wave) and longitudinal (f.e. sound) waves, which distinguished by directions of substance or field oscillation via wave propagation...Generally, one type of wave distinguished from another by their by their physical behavior.

A fault is an example of what type of behavior or deformation?

A fault is an example of brittle deformation in the Earth's crust, where rocks break and move relative to one another along a fault plane. This type of behavior is common in regions experiencing tectonic stress, leading to earthquakes.
