Which risk increases when a geothermal power plant sustains cyclic operation involving high injection pressure?

💡 Explanation

Induced seismicity increases near geothermal plants because increasing the injection pressure enhances pore pressure. Elevated fluid pressure lowers the effective stress along pre-existing faults, stimulating seismic events; therefore it increases seismic activity, rather than heat efficiency.
