Which process inhibits uniform frictional stress alongside transform plate boundaries?

💡 Explanation

Episodic stress release along transform boundaries is due to elastic stick-slip deformation, because locked sections accumulate stress until failure, therefore abrupt releases occur rather than continuous or uniform sliding. Mineral precipitation has no impact on deformation.
