usually an earthquak caused by shifting of the rocks towards the center of the earth
Shear Stress.
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
yo momma hahahahahahah jk it's in faults and transform boundries.
TSUNAMI :)

At transform faults or transform zones.
The cause of Strike-Slip faults are the formation of transform boundarys. My soures: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_plate_boundary_causes_a_strike_slip_fault The answer: I am certain that the answer is the transform boundary. The only thing I don't quite know is what is the difference from a boundary and a fault but I am 100% certain that the answer to your question is the transform boundary.
Transform boundaries cause fault lines or faults.
Transform faults, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, can result in earthquakes but are not typically associated with natural disasters. However, they can indirectly contribute to other natural disasters. For example, if a transform fault runs through a coastal area, the sudden movement along the fault during an earthquake could trigger a tsunami, which can be highly destructive. Additionally, the rupture of a transform fault might also lead to landslides, particularly if it occurs in mountainous regions.
They are common at transform boundaries because strike-slip faults move up and down like transform boundaries.
No
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
Tsunamis are typically triggered by vertical movement of the seafloor at a convergent plate boundary. Transform boundaries do not produce such vertical movement.
Subduction Zones and Transform faults can produce Earthquakes.
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
