Comment on Azores – Evacuations Begin as Seismic Crisis Unfolds in AtlanticparentComments−EdwardDiego4yWell, broadly speaking, an earthquake on one fault can alter shear and stress on other faults - up or down though.As for climate change... well, maybe, there's definitely mechanisms whereby it can change stress on rock, but how much of an effect it has, no-one can really say. This is a good round up. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2926/can-climate-affect-earthq...
