← GeographyWhich outcome is favored along strike-slip faults exhibiting geometric complexity?
A)Localized increases in compression✓
B)Broad crustal extension over vast regions
C)Uniform slip-rate along fault lines
D)Decreases in both stress and strain
💡 Explanation
Localized compressional zones develop because geometric complexities, like bends in strike-slip faults, generate transpression; therefore, localized compression results, rather than broad extension due to divergence or uniform slip as fault locks up.
