A recent study has revealed extensive data on how strike-slip faults develop over time and eventually cause earthquakes at the Earth's surface.

So long as they stand facing the fault, they can say it is a left-lateral strike-slip fault if the block on the far side slipped to their left and that is a right-lateral fault if the block on the ...

San Andreas Fault stretches 1,200 km across California, housing quakes up to M 8.3. Experts warn of southern segment’s “Big ...

A video going around the Internet at the moment in geologist circles appears to show what might be the first ever fault movement caught on camera. On March 28, 2025, the city of Mandalay, Myanmar ...

It was a left-lateral strike-slip earthquake. The Wabuska Lineament is one of a cluster of northeast-striking faults in the mountains east of Reno.

Faults are classified into three main types: normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults.

Strike-slip faults lie between two sides of the crust that slide past each other and are common in places like California where the Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American ...

San Andreas Fault is a geological fault that spans a length of roughly 800 miles (1287 kilometres) through California, United States. The fault, a right-lateral strike-slip fault, marks a ...

Monday’s earthquake was a left-lateral strike slip along the Wabuska Lineament, a cluster of northeast-striking faults in the mountains east of Reno. Members of the public who felt the earthquake is ...

New strike-slip fault formed in the center of the basin, which effectively accommodated normal faulting of the boundary faults of the basin and caused the basin to shrink and die out.

Moment tensor analysis indicated almost pure left-lateral strike-slip motion on near vertical faults with a total moment magnitude (Mw) close to 7.9.
