Which seismic pattern emerges due to stick-slip behavior?

💡 Explanation

Periodic earthquake recurrence occurs due to stick-slip behavior on faults, because friction prevents constant sliding until stress overcomes it, therefore building up strain released in discrete events, rather than continuous creep.
