← GeographyWhich localized geographic outcome develops due to strike-slip fault creep?
A)Offset stream and river channels✓
B)Formation of large anticline ridges
C)Extensive plateau basalt eruptions
D)Development of deep rift valleys
💡 Explanation
Offset streams occur because the displacement along the fault continuously shifts the watercourse in opposite directions via tectonic creep, rather than causing elastic deformation that only results in earthquakes; therefore channels offset, rather than large-scale geological features.
