Which outcome increases proximal fault stress when stick-slip behavior occurs?

💡 Explanation

Elastic rebound increases proximal fault stress because frictional resistance overcomes tectonic forces along the transform boundary; energy stores and releases as slip surfaces, therefore strain accumulates, rather than aseismic creep which dissipates potential stress.
