← GeographyWhich seismological effect occurs from intermittent strike-slip fault locking?
A)Episodic Tremor and Slip (ETS)✓
B)Increased Mantle Plume Convection
C)Decreased Geothermal Gradient Stability
D)Enhanced Magnetic Reconnection Events
💡 Explanation
Episodic Tremor and Slip develops because fault segments lock, causing stress to accumulate and then release gradually in non-earthquake slip events; therefore ETS occurs, rather than constant slip, because the fault does not have uniform creep.
