Which outcome results when strike-slip fault locking accumulates energy?

💡 Explanation

Episodic tremor and slip occur because fault locking causes gradual energy build-up relieved through slow slip events via aseismic creep, rather than a major earthquake; therefore, ETS events emerge, rather than abrupt rupture causing megathrust earthquakes typical of subduction zones.
