Which of the following refers to faults that show both the motion of strike-slip and dip-slip faults?

• Left-lateral

• Normal

• Oblique-slip

• Right-lateral

The sliding and grinding actions between the plates along the transform plate boundary result

• In shallow earthquakes

• Movement in boundaries

• Large lateral displacement of rock

• A broad zone of crustal deformation

Which of the following differentiate dip-slip faults from strike-slip?

• Dip-slip faults are classified as left-and right-lateral, while strike-slip faults are classified as normal and reverse.

• Dip-slip faults are classified as normal and left-lateral, while strike-slip faults are classified as left-and right-lateral.

• Dip-slip faults move horizontally in the direction of the dip, while strike-slip faults move parallel to the direction of the dip.

• Dip-slip faults move parallel to the direction of the dip, while strike-slip faults move horizontally in the direction of the dip.
