Explanation / Answer

1. Compression.
      Compressive stress is responsible for the thrust faulting where older rocks are placed over younger rocks along the fault line. The dip of the thrust fault line is always less than 45 degree. If greater than 45 degrees, then it is a reverse fault.

2. Liquefaction.
   Seattle basin is very deep and is filled with soft and loose sediments. Therefore liquefaction can occur.

3. Seattle.
   Seattle has a zone of multiple shallow east-west thrust faults. Therefore, Seattle is more likely to experience an earthquake from thrust faulting.
