The friction generates energy that can manifest itself in an earthquake, which can be more severe if the plates snag on each other.
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.

Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).

When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
you ask me
When you move the slide down under the microscope, the specimen on the slide will appear to move upward in the field of view. This is due to the way light rays bend as they pass through the lens system of the microscope, resulting in the specimen appearing to move in the opposite direction as the slide.
Earthquakes and tidal waves can be cause. Mountain ranges can also be upthrust. Generally speaking plates don't collide, as they are usually in constant contact with each other. WHt happens is that one plate is forced under another one. These plates then create friction which builds up pressure until suddenly one of the plates is freed, which results in the 'shock' of an earthquake. However, if there is no friction, the plates can often pass easily over/under each other.
It is called a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary can lead to earthquakes and the formation of fault lines. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.
Neither production nor consumption of lithosphere occurs at these boundaries.
