Which type of seismic hazard risk increases following triggered creeping fault behavior?

💡 Explanation

Creeping fault motion can stress adjacent locked sections through stress transfer, because elastic deformation accumulates along fault lines. Therefore, probability increases for a rupture in a locked section, rather than decreases in earthquake frequency elsewhere.
