Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
An earthquake will most likely occur because the techtonic plates below the earth's surface are grinding past one another causing severe shaking.
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.
An earthquake is caused when two techtonic plates collide causing friction which then causes them to slide away from eachother causing a huge jolt in the earth called and Earthquake.
When plates slide past each other, it is called a transform boundary or a strike-slip boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by horizontal movement along fault lines, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
The boundary where two plates slide against each other is called a transform plate boundary. At this boundary, the plates are sliding past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the intense friction between the plates.
When the Continental Drift Theory applies; when two plates either collide, smash, or slide to move plate techtonics.
It's called the Transform, that's the second stage of the plates.

When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.
This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.
