strike-slip
When an Earthquake is shearing two plates from transform boundaries are sliding past one another. For example when I rub my hands past one another that is kind of like what is happening when shearing occurs.
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.

I'm learning about this at school too! When two plates slide right past each other in either direction is called Shearing.
The three types of stress in plates are tensile stress (stretching), compressive stress (compressing), and shear stress (sliding or tearing). These stresses can cause deformation or failure in the material if they exceed its strength.
