This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
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!
