North American Plate and the Pacific Plate
the plates are moving away from each other.
The fault between two plates moving sideways past each other is called a transform fault. This type of fault occurs at transform boundaries where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other.
When two plates are moving horizontally past each other, they slide past in opposite directions. This sliding motion is known as a transform boundary. Friction between the plates can build up stress, which is eventually released in the form of earthquakes.
A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is earthquakes. The movement of plates past each other along a transform boundary can result in sudden release of energy, causing the Earth's crust to shake and creating seismic waves.
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).

The tectonic plates in California are sliding past each other along the San Andreas Fault, rather than colliding or separating. This movement can result in earthquakes as the plates shift horizontally.

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.

It's simply an earthquake.
