Is the Pacific plate colliding with North American or spreading?

That depends on the section you are looking at. Along much of California the plates are neither colliding nor separating, but sliding past one another. Along the southern coast of Alaska, they are colliding.

What can be caused by slipping sliding and colliding of the tectonic plates?

Slipping, sliding, and colliding of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges. These movements can also lead to the creation of new landforms, such as rift valleys and trenches, and can impact the distribution of resources and habitats on Earth.

Is California a convergent divergent or transform fault boundary there why?

California is primarily located along a transform fault boundary, specifically the San Andreas Fault. This is because the Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate. However, there are also areas of convergence, such as the southern part of the state where the plates are colliding, leading to uplift and mountain building.
