← GeographyWhich process limits crustal accumulation along transform boundaries?
A)Strike-slip fault induced crustal delamination✓
B)Subduction zone magmatic arc formation
C)Rift valley crustal spreading rate
D)Hotspot mantle plume upwelling rate
💡 Explanation
Strike-slip motion at transform boundaries results in crustal delamination, where layers separate due to stress, therefore reducing the volume of crustal accumulation. Other processes add crust, rather than reduce it because they involve addition from magma or plate divergence.
