This type of catastrophic event occurs in weak, geologically young rock and soil. as a result of the weakness in the rock, the vibration of earthquakes can rapidly erode these materials. what is the event called that causes this type of physical damage

The correct answer is - C) Landslide.

Explanation:

Landslide is a form of land movement that is caused by a trigger such as earthquakes and is driven by gravity. It often occurs in weak and thus unstable landmass both above and under the sea level. Landslides have several types, including debris flow and rock avalanche.  

Apart from natural causes, the catastrophic landslides result from human activities, such as deforestation and mining.
