Which outcome occurs when a subduction zone fault locks?

💡 Explanation

Locked subduction zone faults cause elastic deformation of the overriding plate; the sudden release during an earthquake causes seismic waves, because of elastic rebound. Seismic waves are favored rather than creep which happens gradually and shield volcanoes are related to hotspots.
