Which outcome results as increased pore water pressure impacts fault mechanics during subduction?

💡 Explanation

Episodic tremor and slow slip occur due to elevated pore water pressure, weakening connections along the subduction fault via effective stress reduction, because friction becomes intermittent under fluid influence; therefore ETS is more likely rather than constant slip.
