← GeographyWhich risk escalates when faults lock within subduction zones?
A)Tsunami generation amplitude increases greatly✓
B)Methane hydrate release exceeds capacity
C)Weathering rates decline exponentially there
D)Silicate weathering accelerates disproportionately quickly
💡 Explanation
Locked faults accumulate stress, eventually releasing it via sudden rupture which causes increased Tsunami energy. This mechanism is elastic rebound, therefore, massive tsunami events become more likely rather than changes in methane stability or surface weathering patterns as those are gradual
