    option A: Stream deflection is change in the flow path of river due to strike slip faulting. Option B: River Terrace is formed by active erosion by river. Option C: Pressure ridge form where lateral motions on a curving fault force rocks into a smaller space, pushing them upward. In other words, when a bulge on one side of the fault is carried against a bulge on the other side, the excess material is pushed upward. i.e, it is also formed by strike slip faulting. option D: A sag pond is a body of fresh water collected in the lowest parts of a depression formed between two sides of an active strike-slip, transtensional or normal fault zone. hence the correct option is B Option

    Strike-slip faults produce produce a variety of landforms including shutter ridges, pull-apart basins, sag ponds, and deflected streams. so the answer will be river terrace.

    Ans(B) River terraces; River terraces can not be generated from faulting

    eduncle-logo-app

    River terraces- Simply form as a result of river erosion; no role of faulting Stream deflection- Result from simple strike slip faulting (either dextral or sinistral) Pressure ridge- Transpressional regime (combination of strike slip and thrust fault) Sag pond- Transtensional regime (combination of strike slip and normal fault)
