← GeographyWhich phenomenon increases when locked transform faults rupture?
A)Surface wave propagation distances✓
B)P-wave shadow zone dimensions
C)S-wave amplitude consistency
D)Moho discontinuity boundary sharpness
💡 Explanation
Surface wave propagation increases with transform fault rupture because seismic energy amplifies within lithosphere due to constructive interference, rather than attenuating as with P or S waves or changes to the Mohorovičić Discontinuity.
