Which risk increases when groundwater injection occurs near a fault?

💡 Explanation

Induced seismicity risk increases because pore pressure increases along the fault plane; this reduces effective normal stress, triggering slip via pressure diffusion, therefore faults become unstable rather than having increased friction weathering or sediment changes.

• Which phenomenon frequently results when tectonic plates slide past each other along a transform fault?
• Which outcome is initiated when excessive pyroclastic material accumulates?
• Which outcome occurs when prevailing winds drive longshore currents?
• Which outcome occurs when a volcanic cinder cone erodes rapidly?
