Which risk increases along fault lines traversing alluvial plains?

💡 Explanation

Increased liquefaction occurs because seismic waves cause saturated, unconsolidated alluvial sediments to lose strength via pore pressure increase; therefore, ground fails more readily during shaking, rather than remaining stable due to bedrock integrity or faster drainage.
