Which effect on crustal stress results from differential plate motion along a transform fault without complete slip?

💡 Explanation

When transform fault movement is not perfectly aligned or continuous, frictional resistance causes localized compression that occurs because tectonic plates resist bending, leading to uplift and folding. Therefore compressional uplift results, rather than rebound, subsidence, or extension all of which involve different regional stress distributions.
