| In plate tectonics, a transform fault is a strike-slip fault extending throughout the lithosphere and joining any two other plate margins. |
|
| The US geological survey said the main shock was magnitude 8.6, which is extraordinarily high for a strike-slip fault. |
|
| Lake Toba's basin is contained in a strike-slip fault belt along the entire length of the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra. |
|
| Haiti is situated along a strike-slip fault between two great plates of the earth's crust, just like the San Andreas of California. |
|
| San Andreas is an example of a strike-slip fault, where two landmasses are moving sideways relative to each other. |
|
| The quake was thought to have been caused by the southeastern movement of the Plateau of Tibet along the Yushu strike-slip fault, part of the Xianshuihe system. |
|
| In southwestern British Columbia, the Fraser Canyon is eroded along the trace of a north-south oriented strike-slip fault whose west side moved north 130 km relative to the east side between 47 and 35 million years ago. |
|
| Technically speaking, the Hayward is a right-lateral strike-slip fault. |
|
| The Murzinka-Adui Metamorphic Complex to the SE of the Salda Complex is separated from the latter by the Petrokamensk Arc and the Sisert dextral strike-slip fault. |
|
| The quake occurred along a strike-slip fault, where two plates grind against each other in opposite directions. |
|
| That quake, which is believed to have killed more than 200,000 people, occurred along a strike-slip fault, in which most of the ground motion is lateral. |
|
| The San Andreas fault, which is one of the most active, is a strike-slip fault. |
|
| In conclusion, the geological characteristics of the South China Sea cannot be explained by a pull-apart model involving a releasing bend of a sinistral strike-slip fault. |
|
| In contrast, in the northern region, deformation was predominantly brittle faulting associated with the numerous large-scale strike-slip fault zones. |
