What causes liquefaction?
in the bedrock (soil/ground) with loose sediments.
When the soil becomes liquid?
liquefaction
A name for saturated soil?
Another name for saturated soil could be soil liquefaction.
What is the purpose of soil liquefaction?
Soil liquefaction occurs when loosely packed, water-saturated soil temporarily loses strength during an earthquake, causing it to behave like a liquid. The purpose of studying soil liquefaction is to understand how it can impact the stability of structures and infrastructure built on these soils, and to develop strategies to mitigate its effects through proper engineering and construction techniques.
How can homes and other structers be protected from liquefaction?
Homes and other structures can be protected from liquefaction by being anchored to a rock below the soil. Liquefaction happens when structures are built on soft ground.
When saturated soil is shaken during an earthquake it may lose its strength this phenomenon is known as?
liquefaction. During liquefaction, the water-saturated soil behaves like a liquid due to increased pore water pressure, resulting in loss of strength and stability. This process can lead to ground failure, settlement, and potential structural damage during an earthquake.
In areas where unconsolidated sediments are saturated with water earthquakes can turn stable soil into a fluid through a process called .?
liquefaction
Hazards from earthquakes include a process called liquefaction. what happens during liquefaction?
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid

The process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake that turns soft soil into liquid mud is what?
The process you are referring to is liquefaction. Liquefaction occurs when water-saturated soil is shaken by an earthquake, causing it to lose strength and behave like a liquid, often resulting in ground failure and structural damage.
How does rain before an earthquake affect the danger of liquefaction?
Liquefaction turns soft soil into mud and then the building sinks. If it were raining, then it would make soil and mud more muddy and more buildings would collapse.
What process occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud?
The process that occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud is known as liquefaction. Liquefaction happens when the shaking causes the soil to lose strength and stiffness, leading it to behave like a liquid rather than a solid. This can result in ground failure and increased susceptibility to landslides.
