EspañolSTRIKE-SLIP TECTONICS
'Strike-slip tectonics' is concerned with the structures formed by, and the tectonic processes associated with, zones of lateral displacement within the crust or lithosphere.
Areas of strike-slip tectonics are associated with
★ Continental transform (conservative) plate boundaries
★ Lateral ramps in areas of extensional or contractional tectonics accommodating lateral offsets between major extensional or thrust faults
★ Zones of oblique continent-continent collision
★ The deforming foreland of a zone of continent-continent collision, a process sometimes known as escape tectonics
