Which outcome occurs when building foundations sit astride a creeping transform fault?

💡 Explanation

Progressive shear-induced structural deformation occurs because the fault's continuous movement introduces strain accumulating within the building’s foundations via aseismic creep, therefore causing deformation, rather than amplified vertical displacement from resonance.
