Which landform results when differential slip occurs along an offset on a transform fault in continental crust?

💡 Explanation

When differential slip occurs along an offset of a transform fault across continental crust, pull-apart basins form because the oblique divergence between the fault segments creates localized extension. Therefore, strike-slip basins result, rather than horst/graben, thrusts, or extensional domes, which involve different tectonic regimes and deformation styles.
