Two plates slide past each other. But the movement is not smooth due to friction between the rocks of the two plates.  Therefore, sometimes the two plates would get 'stuck' and lock together. When there is sufficient buildup of pressure, rocks in the plates break and get jerked apart. This results in earthquakes.
