← GeographyWhich risk increases when locked fault zones release?
A)Tsunami generation likelihood escalates sharply✓
B)Increased silicate mineral deposition occurs inland
C)Enhanced thermohaline deepwater mixing happens locally
D)Intraplate volcanic activity instantly surges rapidly
💡 Explanation
Tsunami risk increases because sudden rupture causes rapid water displacement via Elastic Rebound. The locked potential energy releases creating seismic waves; therefore a tsunami is likelier rather than effects related directly to geological compositions.
