Which condition reliably predicts increased liquefaction hazard near faults?

💡 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.
