The stress that causes a fault to form where two plates move past each other is Shearing.

Shearing:

  • Occurs when two plates move past each other in the opposite direction.
  • Leads to the formation of a transform plate boundary.

Shearing does not lead to volcanoes being formed or subduction like the other forces can but it does lead to earthquakes.

In conclusion, the stress that causes the fault described is Shearing.
