An Earthquake occurs.

An earthquake.
Particles in a liquid can slide past each other but are still packed together.
They go and slide past each other:)
Tectonic plates slide past each other at transform plate boundaries, creating earthquakes. Ice sheets also slide past each other, causing friction and forming crevasses. Additionally, molecules in liquids and gases can slide past each other, leading to fluid motion.
When two plates slide past each other, this is called a transform fault. Earthquakes can occur when the plates scrape by. If the earthquake happens underwater, a tsunami may occur. (Like in Japan)
When two continental plates slide past each other, they create transform boundaries. Friction between the plates may cause earthquakes along the boundary. Over time, the movement can result in the build-up of stress that is released suddenly in the form of an earthquake.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, they can create friction along the plate boundary. This friction can cause the plates to stick momentarily, leading to stress being built up. When the stress is released, it can result in an earthquake as the plates suddenly move past each other.
When tectonic plates slide past each other, they create friction along their boundaries which may cause earthquakes. This movement does not result in the creation or destruction of land, but rather changes the position of the plates relative to each other. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of transform boundaries.
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
