Which risk increases when a creeping fault transitionslocked?

💡 Explanation

The probability escalates because aseismic creep prevents stress accumulation; however, a transition negates frictional slip mechanics, therefore stress instead accumulates until the rupture threshold releases energy in a large magnitude earthquake, rather than smaller adjustments.
