GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -strike-slip fault, also called transcurrent fault, wrench fault, or lateral fault, in geology, a fracture in the rocks of Earth’s crust in which the rock masses slip past one another parallel to the strike, the intersection of a rock surface with the surface or another horizontal plane.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake-or may occur slowly, in the form of creep.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dip-Slip Fault: In geology, a dip-slip fault is any fault in which the earth’s movement is parallel with the dip of the fault plane. For example, a normal fault, reverse fault, or listric fault. The opposite of a dip-slip fault is a strike-slip fault.

Detailed explanation-4: -Faulting happens when the Earth’s crust completely breaks and slides past each other. Whether the Earth’s crust experiences a fold or fault will depend on the material it is made out of in that area.

Detailed explanation-5: -Strike-slip faults are vertical (or nearly vertical) fractures where the blocks have mostly moved horizontally. If the block opposite an observer looking across the fault moves to the right, the slip style is termed right-lateral; if the block moves to the left, the motion is termed left-lateral.
