Which outcome occurs when a transform fault zone restricts a river's meander plain expansion?

💡 Explanation

Increased fluvial terrace formation occurs because uplift from strike-slip faulting reduces lateral erosion via stream capturing, leading to vertical incision called stream terrace formation, because isostatic adjustment creates localized uplift rather than subsidence or chemical weathering.
