Which risk increases when a city's sewage pipes cross a strike-slip fault?

💡 Explanation

Increased lateral ground displacement is the outcome because strike-slip faults move horizontally, therefore pipes shear and break, rather than vertical movements or wave reflection which have lessened direct impact to the pipes.
