Which outcome occurs when the San Andreas fault experiences creep?

💡 Explanation

Creep along a transform boundary causes gradual stress release, which reduces the potential for major earthquakes, because *aseismic slip* prevents the buildup of energy; therefore, the risk is reduced rather than increased seismic events.
