When jagged edges of rock plates grind past each other, it typically results in an earthquake.

wrong

I apologize for any confusion. When tectonic plates with jagged edges grind past each other, the friction and stress that build up can indeed lead to the release of energy in the form of an earthquake. If you have a different context in mind or are looking for a different response, please provide more details, and I'll be happy to help!
