Here's a breakdown:
* Strike: The direction of a horizontal line on the fault plane.
* Slip: The movement of the rocks along the fault.
In a strike-slip fault, the slip is primarily horizontal, parallel to the strike of the fault. The movement can be either right-lateral (where the opposite side of the fault moves to the right) or left-lateral (where the opposite side of the fault moves to the left).
Famous examples of strike-slip faults include:
* San Andreas Fault: A right-lateral strike-slip fault in California, responsible for many earthquakes.
* North Anatolian Fault: A right-lateral strike-slip fault in Turkey, also associated with significant seismic activity.
