Strike-slip Deformation

Strike-Slip Deformation is a type of brittle geologic deformation characterized by predominantly horizontal displacement along a fault plane, where the relative motion of adjacent crustal blocks is parallel to the strike of the fault, distinguishing it from dip-slip and oblique-slip deformation mechanisms.
