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!

Does shaking penis everyday causes problem?
No not at all except if you already have got a loose foreskin it became to loose and will not stay behind the head of the penis.
Do earthquakes happen everywhere volcanoes are?
They do occur where volcanoes are, but it is not because of the volcanoes itself. It is because under the earth's surface there are tectonic plates (plates that make up the earth's crust) that shift, and occasionally collide into one another. This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
Car shakes at 80 need to stop car to stop shaking?
Stop or slow down? It sounds like a loose/worn suspension.
Liquefaction occurs when?
Loose, saturated soil turns into liquid that can't support buildings
How do earthquakes destroy things?
what makes an earthquake so destructive is force. force is key. without force you have nothing. so when there is an earthquake tension pulls the earths curst together and the earth almost sneezes. when force puts the tension on the earth's crust seismometers measure the three earthquake waves...rolling waves, f waves, and lateral waves.
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 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.
Unsure if your exhaust has come loose or if it is something else as your car is shaking?
If the exhaust pipe, muffler, or tail pipe have come loose, you will certainly hear the rattling, but that would not be the cause of the shaking. It is something else causing the shaking, ranging from bad tires to bad engine performance.
What is a process by which shaking makes loose sediment behave like a liquid?
You are probably looking for the word 'liquefaction,' which means dirt during an earthquake suddenly becoming runny. Either that, or 'thixotropy,' which means a fluid moving about more easily the more pressure is applied to it.
Loose liquid stools?
The word diarrhea is the medical term used for loose liquid stools.
What process occurs when an earthquake's shaking turns loose soil into mud?
the answer is liquefaction
Are diarrhea and loose stool the same?
No. Diarrhea is all liquid. Loose stool is partly liquid, partly solid.
Why does Kia Sephia engine shakes?
If the motor is shaking in your Kia Sephia, you probably have loose motor mounts. Simply tightening these up will stop the engine from shaking and vibrating.
