A ground/earth fault is a fault where part of the current returns back through a path other than the opposing hot or, more critically, neutral. A neutral/earth fault is dangerous because the circuit will continue to function normally, but the hot and neutral leg currents are imbalanced, and the chassis can become energized.
Another type of strike-slip fault is called a transform fault. This is a strike-slip fault that is connected to other faults at each end. A transform fault also makes up part of the boundary between two tectonic plates.
