Which of the following is not a way an earthquake can trigger mass wasting?
A) Shaking will harden the soils at the surface, which repels flowing water.
B) Shaking creates a landslide.
C) Liquefaction caused sediments to behave like fluids and move.
D) Shaking has created rock falls that have blocked canyons, an effect that will lead to later problems during flash floods.
