← GeographyWhich seismic outcome results when transform fault creeping?
A)Reduced episodic tremor and slip✓
B)Infrequent but large magnitude earthquakes
C)Increased aftershock sequence duration
D)Decreased overall fault-line pressure buildup
💡 Explanation
Episodic tremor and slow slip events are reduced during the transform fault creeping mechanism, because continuous slip dissipates stress, therefore, there is less energy available for tremor, rather than accumulated strain leading to larger earthquakes.
