Which crustal outcome results when the stress exceeds frictional strength?

💡 Explanation

Movement becomes sudden instead of gradual because exceeding static frictional strength causes brittle failure/Elastic Rebound along the transform plate boundary; therefore, seismic energy is released, rather than gradual creep, as the fault unlocks.
