<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The LiquefactionAreas layer represents regions that may be susceptible to soil liquefaction, a phenomenon where saturated, unconsolidated soils lose strength and stiffness during strong ground shaking, leading to ground failure. This dataset is likely based on mapping and analysis from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), incorporating factors such as soil type, slope, drainage, and regional seismicity. It is frequently used in emergency preparedness, infrastructure planning, and geotechnical review to assess vulnerability and guide risk reduction strategies in earthquake-prone areas.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
