Which outcome occurs when strike-slip faults shift aquifers?

💡 Explanation

Faulting can create or impede groundwater pathways; injecting fluids into such formations along faults increases pore pressure, therefore potentially causing induced seismicity, rather than spring formation, which depends on different geological controls than solely a fault.
