Which outcome results when oblique stress occurs along transform boundaries?

A)Transpression generates restraining bends
B)Transtension dominates normal faulting
C)Divergence forms oceanic spreading ridges
D)Subduction volcanism becomes more intense

💡 Explanation

Transpression and shortening dominate because oblique stress along transform faults generates restraining bends; therefore thrust faults increase, rather than strike-slip only, because compressional forces become amplified in irregular zones.
