When two tectonic plates slide past one another, a transform fault occurs, which can lead to significant geological activity. The friction between the plates can cause stress to build up, eventually resulting in earthquakes when the stress is released. Unlike converging or diverging plates, sliding plates do not typically create or destroy crust, but their movement can result in deformation of the rocks along the fault line. Examples of this include the San Andreas Fault in California.
