Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crustal deformation is primarily caused by tectonic activity, which occurs along plate margins where the Earth's lithospheric plates interact and move relative to one another. Therefore, most crustal deformation occurs in active tectonic zones along plate boundaries.
