Which outcome occurs when geothermal power plant construction intersects fault lines?

💡 Explanation

Induced seismicity occurs because wastewater injection can lubricate pre-existing faults. This promotes slip events, otherwise known as earthquakes, near transform boundaries; therefore, seismic events increase rather than permeability, steam, or extraction enhancements.
