Which outcome results when the locked zone ruptures?

💡 Explanation

Regional crustal uplift follows the stress exceeds friction threshold, causing stored elastic strain energy releasing as movement via elastic rebound, resulting in earthquakes and ground deformation, because the fault unlocks allowing upward movement, therefore uplift, rather than other slow processes.
