What do you call it when an earthquake's violent shaking turns loose soft soil into liquid mud?
Earthquake shaking that turns solid water saturated soil to liquid mud is called "liquefaction".However no amount of earthquake shaking can turn loose dry soil or even loose damp soil to liquid mud, the soil must already be water saturated to undergo liquefaction. Solid water saturated soil is never loose, it is typically as hard as concrete!
What is a problem with seismometers?
Well, nothing is wrong with it except for one thing it sometimes read the wrong information out like when it says there is going to be a major earthquake it turns out to be a GREAT earthquake.
Liquefaction occurs when?
Loose, saturated soil turns into liquid that can't support buildings
What role do evaporation and condensation play in the water cycle?
Evaporation is the changing of liquid water to water vapor.Condensation is when air cools and water vapor turns into liquid.
Is anyone else scared of Google Earth?
Oh God I am. Everytime I zoom out of the Earth my stomach turns and I have to switch it off straight away. I start shaking and everything. I dont know why though. So yeh your not alone.
The process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake that turns soft soil into liquid mud is what?
Liquefaction
The process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake turns soft soil into liquid mud is called what?
liquifaction
What process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake turns soft soil into liquid mud is called?
Soil liquefaction
What occurs when an earthquake violent shaking suddenly turns loose soft soil into liquid mud?
This causes the land to dismantle and makes it unstable. Unstable land might lead to damage to property.

What is the process where a soft soil turns into liquid mud during an earthquake called?
Liquefaction is the process by which mud behaves like a liquid during an earthquake.
What is the term that describes water-soaked soil when it turns into thick soupy liquid during an earthquake?
quicksand
What is liquidfication?
IN areas, where soil is saturated with water, the earthquake viberations sometimes cause material to settle into closer packing of the soil particles. When this happens the soil can flow like liquid. I got this from my science book. It has to be right.
