Shifting,sliding,diverging ,converging etc . of tectonic plates.
friction
Continental Crust
Friction on tectonic plates is primarily caused by the rough, uneven surfaces of the plates as they move past each other. The irregularities in the plates' texture create resistance along the boundary where they meet, leading to friction. Additionally, the presence of fluids in fault zones can also contribute to friction by affecting the slip behavior of the plates.
Faults, and plate rupture.
If you mean for the plates that are the earth's crust they are called 'Tectonic Plates'.

They are called earthquakes.
Yes, earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates 'slip'.

We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.

Earthquakes are a result of the movement of tectonic plates, not the cause. While earthquakes can provide valuable data about the behavior of different plate boundaries, they do not directly affect the overall movement of tectonic plates.
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
