Which surface outcome is caused by compressional stress along a transforming fault?

💡 Explanation

Push-up ranges occur due to transpression (compression + shear) along the transform boundary. The mechanism is crustal shortening; because lateral movement is impeded, crustal thickening occurs, therefore uplift happens, rather than purely strike-slip faulting or subduction.
