Tectonic plates that are sliding past each other.
A
Divergent
B
Convergent
C
Transform
D
collusion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary . One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset-split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.

Detailed explanation-2: -A transform plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other, horizontally. A well-known transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is responsible for many of California’s earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transform plate boundary is a broad zone forming as the Pacific Plate slides northwestward past the North American Plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transform boundary causes a fault between two plates of the lithosphere, which will slide past one another. This motion does not create or destroy crust and will cause earthquakes, but no volcanoes. A transform boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move past one another.
