So I checked our email (took way too long, sorry guys) and I saw that we've received an entry request to address the disaster of STRIKE-SLIP!
Thank you Courtney Alexis for the request!
What is a strike slip?
A strike slip fault is where two adjacent blocks of rock (in the earth) have moved horizontally.
Notice how both sides of the fault are on the same level.
A normal fault is where one side moves upwards as opposed to horizontally.
A thrust (reverse) fault is when one side shifts downwards.
Check out the button link for picture examples of the three major fault types.

Examples of Strike-Slip Faults?
- San Andreas Fault, California
- Anatolian Fault, Turkey
As we already know, fault lines are associated with earthquakes. So if you live near a fault line of any kind, make sure you know what to do if the ground starts shaking!
Feel free to leave any suggestions of your own and we'll make sure to address them!
