Which mechanism significantly alters aftershock frequency following increased magnitude earthquake displacement?

💡 Explanation

Increased stress from displacement triggers rate and state friction evolution, changing frictional properties because this governs aftershock initiation and frequency, therefore aftershocks evolve as friction stabilizes, rather than resulting from fluid or mantle dynamics.
