Which outcome usually occurs when stress overcomes frictional lock on a transform fault?

💡 Explanation

Seismic waves are released, since Elastic Rebound occurs because accumulated strain energy is suddenly released along with fault. Therefore sudden movement occurs rather than gradual creep, volcanic arc are formed at subduction zones, not transform.
