Which outcome is directly caused when aseismic creep along a transform fault stalls completely?

💡 Explanation

Elastic energy accumulates because 'elastic rebound' occurs, and the fault is locked, therefore leading to increased stress preceding a large earthquake, rather than dissipating gradually like constant aseismic creep along the transform fault would.
