← GeographyWhich outcome arises when differential slip along a transform vault is impeded?
A)Stress buildup and induced seismicity✓
B)Enhanced mantle convection upwelling
C)Decreased volcanic eruption frequency
D)Increased hydrothermal vent formation
💡 Explanation
Stress accumulates when asperities prevent continuous movement during strike-slip because frictional resistance impedes stable sliding. Therefore, stress builds and produces induced seismicity, rather than changes in mantle or volcanism, linked to mantle dynamics.
