Which consequence results when aseismic creep plate locking?

💡 Explanation

Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events follow because aseismic creep prevents continuous stress release and drives periods of locking and sudden slip. Therefore, ETS occurs, rather than even slip because stress concentrates temporarily.
