Which outcome occurs when geothermal plant injection increases?

💡 Explanation

Fluid injection along pre-existing faults increases pore pressure, reducing effective normal stress and triggering slip; this is known as induced seismicity, because this destabilizes underground faults, therefore earthquakes are triggered, rather than scaling, plumes, or corrosion prevention.

• Which material redistribution occurs because prolonged andesitic lava flows build pressure?
• Which long-term outcome results from sediment disruption of tidal inlet hydrodynamics?
• Which mechanism causes the formation of braided river channels in alluvial fans experiencing heavy sediment load?
• Which mechanism strengthens subtropical high-pressure zones due to Hadley cell dynamics?
• Which risk increases when seismic waves weaken a large landslide-prone slope immediately after a major earthquake?
• Which risk increases when deforestation occurs within an alluvial floodplain upslope sediment source?
