Which outcome occurs when earthquake rupture propagation reduces?

💡 Explanation

A slowed earthquake rupture means decreased seismic moment release rate because fault area unzipping slows via reduced stress concentration, resulting in less elastic rebound. Therefore, less seismic energy is radiated, rather than an increase; other options are unrelated.
