Which outcome is LEAST likely when lateral displacement along transform faults obstructs submarine channels?

💡 Explanation

Transform faults displacing submarine topography interrupt sediment paths; causing redirection and localized ponding, because lateral offset creates barriers. Sediment dispersal to the abyssal plain is reduced, therefore inhibiting even distribution rather than enhancing deposition due to redirected current pathways.
