A right-lateral strike-slip fault is a type of fault where two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. When observing the fault, if you stand on one side and see the opposite side move to the right, it is classified as right-lateral. This movement occurs due to tectonic forces that cause stress in the Earth's crust. These faults are commonly found at transform plate boundaries, where tectonic plates slide against each other. An example of a right-lateral strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California, which is well-known for its seismic activity and potential to generate earthquakes.
