Which outcome occurs when fluids rise to earthquake hypocenter?

💡 Explanation

Fluids rising from depth increase pore pressure, triggering induced seismicity near the hypocenter because this decreases effective normal stress and promotes failure. Therefore, induced seismicity increases rather than promotes creep, which requires slow fault movement.
