Yes, it is. The only thing is that it is the force that resists sliding or rolling of one solid object over another.
Friction will cause heat energyIt will not add potential or kinetic energy
If you mean tetonic plates, then no, sliding tetonic plates cause earthquakes.
fricton is useful in many many ways: help in protecting from slipping protect the car from sliding due to friction you can make fire from rubbing two stones. etc......... etc....

Sliding plates release tension and energy to cause earthquakes.
Sliding plates, also known as transform plate boundaries, cause horizontal sliding between two tectonic plates. This movement can result in earthquakes along the boundary as the plates grind past each other.
For example the cause of sliding friction of two materials is when the stress between the Materials is not equal to zero
Fricton!!
Friction is a measure of resistance and has no physical properties.
fricton
it stops a car when u press the breaks on the car
