Which outcome occurs when geothermal plant injection increases?

💡 Explanation

Fluid injection along pre-existing faults increases pore pressure, reducing effective normal stress and triggering slip; this is known as induced seismicity, because this destabilizes underground faults, therefore earthquakes are triggered, rather than scaling, plumes, or corrosion prevention.
