Question

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

a.
noise.
b.
shaking.
c.
up-or-down motion.
d.
movement.

Answer 1

I think the answer is letter c the up-or-down motion. A strike-slip fault moves sideways, giving opposite direction and parallel horizontal movements. The force that the land experiences can make the rocks slide up and down. This is caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates.

Answer 2

The answer is C. In strike-slip faults, the two crusts on either side of the fault move along each other , horizontally. They are also referred to as lateral or wrench faults. And are caused by horizontal compression. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas fault.
