Which consequence results when strike-slip transform boundaries lock?

💡 Explanation

Elastic Rebound Theory explains earthquakes; locked transform faults accumulate stress because the friction resists movement, therefore storing elastic strain energy rather than releasing it smoothly. Other options do not directly result.
