Which outcome increases following hydraulic fracturing-induced fault reactivation?

💡 Explanation

Fault reactivation increases ground instability; the increased seismic shaking intensifies soil destabilization via seismic waves. This triggers soil to behave like a liquid in liquefaction, because increasing water pressure diminishes inter-particle friction; therefore, seismically-induced liquefaction risk increases, rather than precipitation, primary productivity, or wind patterns.
