Which mechanism results from differential slip rates along transform faults?

💡 Explanation

Strike-slip offset accumulates along the transform fault because elastic strain builds with lithospheric stress; displacement is a consequence of elastic deformation exceeding the friction, and is measured by geometric shift, resulting in observed offset, rather than alternatives.
