Which outcome results from sustained creep along a transform plate boundary?

💡 Explanation

Creep is continuous, slow movement; the **aseismic slip** mechanism allows plates to move past each other gradually. Because continuous slip dissipates stress rather than storing it, therefore gradual crustal deformation occurs, rather than concentrated stress release in large earthquakes.
