The scientist observes strike slip fault feature when rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions.
Step-by-step explanation:
These kind of faults are the faults where big pieces of rocks move away from each other but move in horizontal direction only inside the surface of earth and such fault occur because of the compression and this also leads to the energy coming out but in the opposite direction of the force or the compression which is also known as the ''shear stress''.
