← GeographyWhich condition reliably predicts increased liquefaction hazard near faults?
A)High pore water pressure✓
B)Elevated atmospheric temperature
C)Decreased geothermal gradient
D)Increased vegetation density
💡 Explanation
Liquefaction occurs through increased pore water pressures because seismic shaking from fault activity increases granular soil instability. Therefore pore pressure is the prediction factor; increased atmospheric temperature or vegetation have little impact rather than the soil mechanics.
