← GeographyWhich geomorphic outcome will transform motion at a strike-slip fault regularly induce along convergent boundaries?
A)Deep ocean trench formation
B)Fold mountain range uplift
C)Offset stream channel alignment✓
D)Shield volcano cone building
💡 Explanation
When strike-slip faulting occurs, horizontal displacement is dominant because plates slide past one another, causing lateral offset features like stream channels. Therefore alignment results, rather than formation or uplift associated with compression or divergence, which requires other faulting influences.
