“…When preparing susceptibility map of landslides triggered by earthquakes, Wang et al (2021) employed elevation, aspect, slope angle, terrain relief, distance to faults, distance to rivers and terrain wetness index as conditioning factors while considered elevation, slope, aspect, land cover, soil type, precipitation, distance to faults, distance to roads and distance to streams for investigating eartquakes on landslides susceptibility in a seismic prone area in Central Asia. Several studies (Chen et al 2021;Guo et al 2021;Liu et al 2021) considered similar conditioning and triggering parameters when producing susceptibility maps of landslides triggered by earthquakes. Consequently, different conditioning factors such as altitude, slope, aspect, plan and pro le curvature, lithology, topographic wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), drainage density, distance to roads were used to produce LSM in the literature (Chen et al 2017b;de Oliveira et al 2019;Wang et al 2020;Adnan et al 2020;Bui et al 2020).…”
