Which mechanism causes uplift and terracing within strike-slip fault zones during compressional stress?

💡 Explanation

When compressional stress occurs within a strike-slip fault zone, transpression arises because the fault is not perfectly linear, creating restraining bends that accommodate strain through uplift. Therefore, the formation of uplifting terracing results, rather than erosion, dilation, or creep, which depend on different stress regimes or material properties.
