← GeographyWhich seismological risk increases at transform fault plate boundaries with creeping sections?
A)Locked fault zone stress buildup✓
B)Decreased frequency of major quakes
C)Limited shallow earthquake focal depths
D)Tsunami generation near transform margins
💡 Explanation
Seismic risk rises with build-up of stress because 'creeping' sections buttress against locked zones; therefore, stress accumulates in static fault regions rather than dissipating regularly by aseismic slip, rather than shallow events because of plate interactions.
