Which outcome results when differing fault movement causes horizontal displacement?

💡 Explanation

Strike-slip basins form due to transtension along strike-slip faults because the faulting is offset but does not create a contiguous plate boundary allowing extension via pull-apart basin development; therefore, strike-slip basins, rather than thrust-fault uplift, mid-ocean ridges, or transform boundaries happen.
