What is Strike-Slip Faults in Tectonics Explained about?

Strike-slip faults occur where two blocks of crust move horizontally parallel to the fault zone. There are four main types of strike-slip systems related to plate tectonics: transform faults at plate boundaries, intraplate faults, and faults related to oblique plate convergence or extension. Strike-slip faults are characterized by narrow zones of deformation with little associated magmatism or metamorphism. Riedel shears are subsidiary fractures that develop at characteristic angles from the main fault and
