Which consequence results when strike-slip fault friction increases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced plate motion results because increasing friction causes a decrease in stress release via Aseismic Creep, impeding gradual slip. Therefore, aseismic creep lessens rather than causing enhanced sedimentation on its own, that may relate to uplift, subsidence conditions over time.
