Following subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate, which outcome characterizes deformation inland?

💡 Explanation

Crustal thickening occurs because compression from plate convergence results in ductile shortening accommodated through folding and thrust faulting of the continental crust rather than widespread faulting. Therefore, crustal thickening dominates, rather than subsidence due to normal faults.
