a possible result of plates moving past each other is an earth quake
Transform boundary
Plates moving past each other can fail to slide smoothly, building up stress that can be released suddenly. These types of sudden shifts cause earthquakes.
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.

The movement of the plates can be compared to... Transform boundary- sliding past one another convergent boundary- moving together divergent boundary- pulling apart

At a convergent boundary two plates move toward each other. At a transform boundary plates slide past each other.

The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.
