← GeographyWhich effect occurs when asperities impede strike-slip movement?
A)Episodic tremor generation✓
B)Enhanced mantle convection
C)Widespread glacial isostasy
D)Decreased magnetic reversal frequency
💡 Explanation
Episodic tremor generation results from stick-slip behavior along transform faults; stress accumulates due to impeded creep, then sudden rupture triggers tremors, because friction overcomes lithospheric cohesion, therefore tremors occur, rather than continuous creep.
