Site effects: Which of the following statements are correct?(A) Ground motion is generally largest on hard rock sites;(B) Non-linear soil behavior will decrease the ground motion mostly on sedimentary sites;(C) Ground motion on the horizontal component is generally smaller than on the vertical;(D) The thickness and average S-wave velocity of the sediments define the frequency band in which amplification occurs;(E) Site effects are mainly due to the building types and their vulnerability;(F) Sites at depth, e.g. in tunnels, generally show smaller ground motion at low frequencies below 10Hz.(G) Microzonation studies map the soil properties and provide local uniform hazard spectra;(H) Microzonation studies also map possible induced phenomena such as landslide triggering;
