Which effect results when a transform boundary is jagged?

A)Repeating cycles of stick-slip earthquakes
B)Spreading ridge magnetic reversal acceleration
C)Increased mantle plume volcanic activity
D)Localized alpine orogeny initiation

💡 Explanation

Stick-slip earthquakes occur because friction locks the fault until stress overcomes it, a process called elastic rebound; repeating with jagged edges. Therefore seismicity concentrates, rather than spreading ridge reversals or widespread plume activity, representing different mechanisms.
