You live in a seismically active area and there are steep mountain slopes that show evidence of past large landslides. A geologist uses radiocarbon dating and determines that all of the landslides are 1000 +/- 5 years old

C) There was probably an earthquake ~1000 years ago. D) There must have been people in the area 1000 years ago, and they cut down the trees that were dated for determining the age of the landslide.
