a transform boundary
A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes and the creation of features like strike-slip faults. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.
A transform boundary forms where plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform boundaries are found near Mid-ocean ridges.
In a transform boundary, plates slide horizontally past each other. One of the most famous transform boundaries is the San Andreas Fault that winds through California.
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
The three types of Earth's plates are convergent plates, where two plates move towards each other; divergent plates, where two plates move away from each other; and transform plates, where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.

When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
At convergent boundaries, plates do not slide past each other. Instead, they move towards each other and collide or subduct under one another. This collision or subduction process is what characterizes convergent plate boundaries.
