Hope it may help you

Answer 2

Lateral plate movements are a type of plate movement of the earth where two tectonic plates move sideways resulting in tremendous shakes and earthquakes.

Explanation:

It is seen in San Andrea's Fault where the plates are slipping. During slipping, the plate boundaries produce severe friction, where the friction builds up to a huge amount. Then, when the pressure is released, the plates move and are accompanied by an earthquake of Richter scale reading around 5 to 7.
