Which outcome occurs when increased pore fluid pressure reduces effective stress on tectonic plates near the San Andreas fault?

💡 Explanation

Reduced effective stress increases the likelihood of fault slip because it diminishes the frictional resistance opposing tectonic forces; therefore, induced earthquake slip tendency increases rather than aseismic creep slowing or gouge cohesion strengthening in surrounding areas.
