← GeographyWhich erosional outcome occurs where strike-slip motion terminates along transform boundaries between oceanic plates?
A)Formation of pull-apart basins✓
B)Escarpment formation with alluvial fans
C)Headward erosion-driven river incision
D)Uplift decreases the glacial valleys
💡 Explanation
Pull-apart basins form because crustal extension occurs where the transform fault segments step apart; therefore, localized subsidence creates topographic depressions and sediment accumulation, rather than alluvial fans or river incision that needs fluvial proccesses.
