Strike-slip fault is a large-scale translational fault, also known as transverse fault and strike-slip fault.
Strike-slip faults are strike-slip faults. The rocks move relatively parallel to the strike. If we stand on one side of this fault and see that the movement on the other side is from left to right, this fault movement is called dextral strike-slip. Similarly, left-lateral strike-slip faults can also be determined.
Up to now, the largest strike-slip earthquake occurred in April 2065438+April 2002+April 2065438+April 2002, with an earthquake magnitude of 8.6 and an earthquake magnitude of 8.2 in the northwest of Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The first earthquake was called the largest strike-slip earthquake on record.
