Shearing causes a type of movement called sliding or shifting. It occurs when forces are applied to an object in opposite directions but parallel to each other. This causes the object to move or deform along a plane or surface.
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
it pushes rock in to different directions

A shearing fault is a type of fault in geology where the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. This movement is typically parallel to the fault plane, causing a lateral displacement in the rock layers. Shearing faults are commonly associated with transform plate boundaries.
Shearing in the Earth's crust occurs when forces cause rocks to move horizontally in opposite directions along a fault line. This movement results in a strain that generates earthquakes as the rocks rupture along the fault. Shearing is a type of stress that can lead to faulting and seismic activity.
A strike-slip fault has a shearing force, where the two blocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. This type of fault is characterized by lateral movement along the fault line caused by horizontal forces.
A strike-slip fault
Shearing in the context of earthquakes refers to the horizontal movement that occurs when two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other in opposite directions along a fault line. This type of movement can result in the release of energy in the form of seismic waves, causing an earthquake.
