Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A fault can be classified as both a strike-slip and a transform fault if it has horizontal movement along a plate boundary. The terms "strike-slip" and "transform" are often used interchangeably to describe faults with horizontal movement, so it is possible for a fault to be classified as both. However, the fault cannot be classified as a normal or reverse fault while also being a strike-slip or transform fault.
