Which risk increases when a coastal oil pipeline crosses a transform fault boundary?

A)Increased frequency zone liquefaction
B)Accelerated thermal pipeline degradation
C)Electrolytic corrosion in steel increasing
D)Reduced hydrodynamic pressure resistance

💡 Explanation

Increased frequency zone liquefaction occurs because the transform fault generates seismic waves; seismic waves induce liquefaction in saturated unconsolidated sediments. Therefore increased liquefaction intensifies pipeline vulnerability, rather than related impacts through alternatives.
