Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
What fault will occur at a transform boundary?
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
What type of fault is rose canyon fault?
It is a strike-slip fault.
Are the Rock layers still continuous after a strike-slip fault?
Not necessarily. Rock layers along a strike-slip fault may be offset if they are dipping.
What fault has little or no vertical movements?
A fault with little or no vertical movement is called a strike-slip fault. In this type of fault, the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other, usually in a side-to-side motion. This movement can cause earthquakes when the stress along the fault overcomes friction and the rocks suddenly slip.
What happens to the Earth's crust when a strike slip fault happens?
Crustal plates are grinding past each other in a strike-slip fault.
How is a dip-slip fault different from a strike-slip fault?
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
What type of fault is the hayward fault?
The Hayward Fault is a Strike-slip Fault.
What is the definition for strike slip fault?
Strike slip fault - Look it up!
What is the main difference between a dip slip fault and a strike slip fault?
The main difference between a dip-slip fault and a strike-slip fault is the direction of movement. In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the dip direction of the fault plane, either up or down. In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the strike direction of the fault plane, either to the left or right.
What type of fault rocks on either side of the fault surface moves past each other?
strike-slip
Is the San Andreas Fault a dip-slip fault?

Where does a strike slip fault occur on Earth's surface?
it occurs along a transform boundary
Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
What is a oblique-slip fault?
A fault that is a combination of dip-slip and strike-slip movements
What type of fault is caused by shear faults?
A strike slip fault.
Do strike slip faults only occur in California?
No. They can form anywhere on Earth's surface / within the lithosphere that is affected by shear stress. For example the fault that caused the 2010 Haitian earthquake was a strike slip fault.
