Which stress outcome occurs when differential crustal uplift?

💡 Explanation

Fault reactivation causes earthquake generation because previously dormant faults experience renewed stress from differential uplift; therefore unstable seismic activity is triggered, rather than solely rebound, density shift, or foliation decreases in the absence of prior faulting.
