Which area is most likely to be the safest during a major earthquake? area with loosely compacted soil area with structures built on a landfill area with granite bedrock area with steep slopes of unconsolidated sediments

ANSWER:

The area with loosely compacted soil is most likely to be the safest during a major earthquake.

EXPLANATION:

Loosely compacted soil are those which are formed due to less stress that is been applied to the soil, as a result of desertification decreases in the soil density and the area whose soil is loosely compacted is the safest place during earthquakes as these areas have increased shear strength and less permeability that would protect you from earthquake as buildings constructed in these areas tends to be hard enough.

why? are we saying it out loud
