Why are wildfires important when considering mass-wasting events?
a. Wildfires remove vegetation, which is an important control of mass-wasting events.
b. Wildfires increase the likelihood of increased earthquake vibrations separating the weak spots in rocks.
c. Wildfires stabilize slopes by removing the shallow-rooted vegetation but leaving the deep-rooted vegetation.
d. Wildfires often trigger mass-wasting events because of water-intensive firefighting efforts.
