The results of the analysis indicate that the mass movement concentration decreases with increased distance from the earthquake epicentre and the reactivated Muzaffarabad Fault. The maximum concentration of mass movements is near the epicentre and a fault. A significant occurrence and concentration of mass movements were evident at slope angles between 31-40掳. The preferred orientations of the mass movements were in southerly directions. The concentrations of mass movements differ substantially among various geological units. Mass movements are widely distributed in the Miocene Murree Formation, whereas the concentration of mass movements is higher in the Cambrian Muzaffarabad Formation.
The median mass movement concentration inflicted by the epicentre and the Muzaffarabad Fault exhibited no significant differences (KS = 0.505; p = 0.961). The results of the PCA reveal that the largest variance in mass movement concentration is attributed to the distance from the epicentre and the Muzaffarabad Fault. The findings suggest that the mass movement concentration is primarily dependent on the distance from the earthquake source. In addition, the topographic parameters and geological units played subordinate roles in the distribution of mass movements.
