Definition
Determine the density and distribution of the instability within the defined location.
| Distribution | Density | Evidence |
| Isolated | The instability is spotty and found in few locations. | Evidence is rare and hard to find. |
| Specific | The instability exists in portions of terrain. | Evidence exists but is not always obvious. |
| Widespread | The instability is found in many locations. | Evidence is everywhere and easy to find. |
| Comment | How is the evidence distributed within the location identified? | How hard is it to find? |
