Which displacement results from strike-slip motion along transforms?

💡 Explanation

Strike-slip faults, a type of transform boundary, cause lateral offsets through frictional sliding; transform faults accommodate lateral movement because elastic deformation exceeds the static friction coefficient, resulting in slip, therefore lateral offset prevails rather than uplift or thinning.
