← GeographyWhich landform develops where strike-slip plate motion predominates?
A)Linear offset ridges and valleys✓
B)Deep ocean trenches with accretionary wedges
C)Broad folded mountain belts
D)Shield volcanoes within continental rifts
💡 Explanation
Transform boundaries experience lateral sliding. Block faulting creates offset ridges and valleys because crust fractures under continual shear motion, therefore forming this landform rather than subduction trenches or folded mountains which form at convergent boundaries.
