This region is dominated by a conjugate set of strike-slip faults. The NNW-SSE trending ones are left-lateral (red), while the ENE-WSW trending ones are right-lateral (black). They indicate a common WNW-ESE σ1 direction and are nearly orthogonal to one another. The spacing of the ...
The fault motion of a strike-slip fault is caused by shearing forces. -Compressional stress causes squeezing, tensional stress causes stretching, shearing stress causes side to side movement. -Folding rocks results on the appearance of physical folds called : anticline and syncline. How can you t...

There are three main types of fault which can cause earthquakes:normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Which block is the hanging wall? When rocks slip past each other in faulting,the upper or overlying block along the fault planeis called the hanging wall, or headwall; the block below...
