Which outcome increases following a dam's reservoir impoundment near a strike-slip fault?

💡 Explanation

Induced seismicity earthquake frequency increases because the increased pore pressure weakens the fault zone's effective strength near the reservoir via poroelasticity; therefore seismicity risks increase rather than decrease, because the water pressure perturbs the stress state.
