What is the fault between two plates moving sideways past each other called?

The fault between two plates moving sideways past each other is called a transform fault. This type of fault occurs at transform boundaries where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other.

In a strike-slip fault the rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other sideways.?

=Yes!=


What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?

It is a transform fault where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other. This motion is caused by shearing forces that result in horizontal displacement along the fault line. Examples of transform faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.


What type of rock occurs on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other?

Rocks that occur on either side of a fault that move sideways past each other are typically classified as transform fault rocks. These rocks experience shearing forces as they slide horizontally past each other, leading to observable features like fault gouge and striations.


In a strike-slip fault the rocks on either side of the fault slip past each other sideways with the little?

up or down motion


What is it called when the rocks on either side of a fault slip past each other sideways with little up or down motion?

Slip/slide fault


What are the places between plates that are passing each other sideways called?

Faults Boundary. Eg Transform fault.


What type of fault rocks on either side of the fault surface moves past each other?

strike-slip


In a strike- slip fault the rock on either side of the fault slip past each other sideways with little?

Strike-slip faults have little vertical motion.


Which type of fault involves a sideways motion?

A strike-slip fault involves a sideways motion where two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is typically associated with transform plate boundaries. The movement is primarily lateral, with little to no vertical displacement. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
