Which outcome occurs when a saturated fault experiences creeping?

💡 Explanation

Induced minor shallow tremors occur dominantly because saturated transform fault displacement releases strain via aseismic creep, causing numerous small seismic events, rather than significant single ruptures; therefore, many small tremors result, rather than substantial crust deformation.
