Which mechanical effect primarily results when earthworm populations accelerate bioturbation inside loess deposits?

💡 Explanation

Elevated seismic liquefaction vulnerability is expected because bioturbation from increased earthworm activity alters loess structure and decreases density. Therefore, seismic waves cause previously structured soil to act like a liquid, creating failure planes rather than stable solid behavior.
