Transform fault or sliding boundary
That is a Strike-slip fault. This type of plate boundary is a relatively conservative boundary because the plates moves side by side horizontally causing little or no destruction of old plates or creation of new plates, but only causes a kind of boundary known as a Transform Boundary. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault, in California, USA North America.
The Nazca and Caribbean plates share a transform boundary. This boundary is characterized by horizontal motion where the two plates slide past each other in opposite directions. In this case, the plates are moving laterally along the Caribbean Plate's northern edge.
The North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate are on a transform boundary. This boundary is known as the North American-Caribbean Plate boundary, where the plates slide past each other horizontally. This motion results in frequent earthquakes in the region.
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
not nescessarily. It could be two plates of any kind rubbing against each other. Sometimes it is two continental plates or one of each.

techtonic plates
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
The North America and Caribbean plates meet at a transform plate boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along the boundary.
The North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate are on a transform boundary. This boundary is known as the North American-Caribbean Plate boundary, where the plates slide past each other horizontally. This motion results in frequent earthquakes in the region.
At a transform plate boundary, the motion is horizontal and parallel to the boundary. The plates slide past each other in opposite directions, causing earthquakes due to the friction between the plates. This type of boundary is also known as a strike-slip boundary.
When continental plates move toward each other, it is called a convergent plate boundary. This can lead to the collision and subduction of the plates, causing mountain building and deep ocean trench formation.
Transform boundaries involve lateral shearing forces, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can create faults and earthquakes along the plate boundary.
The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.
The San Andreas Fault was created by a transform boundary, where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. In the case of the San Andreas Fault, the Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American Plate.
