Earthquakes occur and faults are created. (Next: transform boundary) no crust is created or destroyed.
Crustal features like mountains, rift valleys, and ocean trenches are directly related to plate tectonics. These features are created by the movement of tectonic plates, which can collide, separate, or slide past each other. The interactions between these plates result in the deformation and creation of various crustal features.
When tectonic plates slide past each other, they create friction along their boundaries which may cause earthquakes. This movement does not result in the creation or destruction of land, but rather changes the position of the plates relative to each other. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of transform boundaries.
When two continental plates slide past each other, they create transform boundaries. Friction between the plates may cause earthquakes along the boundary. Over time, the movement can result in the build-up of stress that is released suddenly in the form of an earthquake.
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.
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.
The three types of crustal plate movements are convergent (plates move towards each other), divergent (plates move away from each other), and transform (plates slide past each other horizontally). These movements are driven by the interactions of tectonic plates at plate boundaries.
A transform boundary is formed when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The movement at these boundaries is typically characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the friction between the two plates as they slide. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.

sometimes they slide around and that movement creates earthquakes
Crustal features like mountains, rift valleys, and ocean trenches are directly related to plate tectonics. These features are created by the movement of tectonic plates, which can collide, separate, or slide past each other. The interactions between these plates result in the deformation and creation of various crustal features.
The crustal plates move on the semi-fluid asthenosphere due to convection currents in the mantle. These convection currents cause the plates to either separate, collide, or slide past each other, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.

It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
there is faulting
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
An earthquake.
The edges of moving crustal plates are often defined by tectonic plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. These boundaries are important in understanding the processes of earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
