Accepted Answer
Areas underlain by loose, unconsolidated sediments rock/soil types will have the greatest amplitude of shaking for a given earthquake.What causes earthquakes?Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the plate tectonics along the boundary lines.In general, there are three boundary lines along which earthquake occur including convergent, divergent and transform boundary.Earthquake waves are called seismic waves and these waves run parallel along the boundaries and cause damage.However, the regions which are more prone to the damage caused by earthquake are area made up of loose and unconsolidated sedimentary rocks. To put it simply, waves travel faster through these rocks having greater amplitude of earthquake and causing more damage.If you need to learn more about earthquakes click here:https://brainly.com/question/248561#SPJ4
