← GeographyWhich outcome commonly results from increased pore pressure?
A)Triggering of induced seismicity events✓
B)Formation of volcanic metamorphic rock
C)Enhanced stability of subsurface reservoirs
D)Promotion of ductile deformation in rocks
💡 Explanation
Induced seismicity can happen when pore pressure increases, because reduced effective stress causes Fault reactivation; therefore, small earthquake occurrences increase, rather than promoting rock stability or ductile formations.
