Which consequence results when locking along California's transform boundary fails?

💡 Explanation

Episodic creep occurs because elastic strain accumulates due to friction, and the slow, sudden release is the aseismic slip or creep, therefore gradual plate motion happens rather than catastrophic rifting.
