Which mechanism minimizes seismic wave energy transmitted across a fault line during earthquakes?

💡 Explanation

When carbon is injected deep inside fault zones, changing frictional properties, stable sliding occurs because carbon sequestration reduces the potential for stick-slip behavior, diminishing released seismic energy. Therefore, deep carbon injection reduces seismic energy transmision, as fluid injection increases it and trenches/vegetation have a negligibly minimal effect.
