Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
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.
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
A transform plate boundary has plates sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes due to friction and pressure build-up along the boundary.
Transversions occur on the transform fault lines between two plates. The motion of transversions is a sliding motion where both the plates are either dextral or sinistral. Dextral is when the plate block farthest from the observer is sliding to the right and sinistral is when the block farthest from the observer is sliding to the left. In this grinding process, the plates are neither constructive or destructive like in converging and diverging plates. Neither plate subducts in a transversion. They merely slide past each other.

I think you're referring to tectonic plates, there are 3 ways one is convergent boundary, divergent, and transform. Plates that slide against each other are called transform boundary's. And your welcome

Like anywhere else, the earthquakes in Japan were caused by tectonic plates sliding against each other.

Friction.
Sliding plates, also known as transform plate boundaries, cause horizontal sliding between two tectonic plates. This movement can result in earthquakes along the boundary as the plates grind past each other.

Yes, earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When two plates slide past each other, get stuck, and then suddenly release, it generates seismic waves that we feel as earthquakes.
These are convergent plates- and if the pressure continues it causes mountain building. The Indian and Eurasian plates collided millions of yrs ago and are STILL pressing against each other. They created the Himalayas which are still growing! There are three tyoes of boundaries around plates: convergent (pressing against each other); divergent- moving away;. and transform- sliding past each other.
