Shear causes horizontal movement along a fault plane in a strike-slip fault.
<em><u>Strike-slip faults are vertical fractures where the blocks have moved horizontally. </u></em>
Strike-slip faults are caused by horizontal compression. Strike-slip fault slips release their energy by rock displacement in horizontal direction almost parallel to the compression force.
One significant difference that I noticed was the color of the water. In the control aquarium, the color of the water at 30 days was the same as it was on the 1st day. In the experimental aquarium, the water had a green tint on the 30th day, but on the first day it was clear.
