When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
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.

Why do you think the plates began to slip against each other laterally 30 million years ago?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).

A small earthquake
nothing?
it would brake
nothing
when the plates get against each other
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.
an earthquake happens

no. the plates pushing against each other do.
an earthquake
they move against one another
