Yes, liquefaction can occur during earthquakes when saturated soil loses strength and stiffness due to increased water pressure and vibrations. This can cause buildings to sink or collapse if their foundation is compromised. Engineering techniques can help mitigate liquefaction risk in construction projects.
When soil becomes more liquid, it is called soil liquefaction. This occurs when water-saturated soil loses strength and stiffness, behaving more like a liquid than a solid. It can lead to ground instability and cause buildings to sink or tilt.
When soil becomes more liquid, it is called liquefaction. This typically happens during an earthquake when the ground shaking causes the soil to lose its strength and behave like a liquid, leading to potentially destructive consequences for buildings and structures built on top of it.
When soil becomes more liquid, it becomes saturated with water and can lead to problems like waterlogging and reduced aeration for plant roots. This condition can hinder plant growth and cause nutrient leaching.
Buildings that were retrofitted to withstand earthquakes or those built with seismic design features were more likely to survive the Kobe earthquake. On the other hand, older buildings or structures that were poorly constructed were more susceptible to damage or collapse. Additionally, the soil composition and proximity to the fault line also played a role in determining which buildings survived and which did not.
When the soil becomes more liquid, it is typically due to saturation with water. This can lead to soil erosion, decreased soil strength, and potential landslides in steep terrain. Proper drainage and land management practices can help mitigate these risks.
It is true. An example is in quicksand, were sand grains are separated by water (upflowing spring, etc) so making the surface unstable.

The particles vibrate more until the particles break away and become more spread out. This is when they become a liquid.
Yes. Buildings and homes can collapse in a tornado. One common way this happens is the roof comes off, causing the walls to become unstable. Depending on the strength of the structure this would take and EF2 or EF3 tornado for partial collapse, and likely an EF4 for complete collapse. In an extremely powerful tornado such as a high EF4 or EF5 houses are blown away rather than collapse. Weak tornadoes usually do not cause significant structural damage.
Yes, it changes, because when orange juice becomes warm/hot, it becomes more of a base, and when it turns cold, it becomes more of an acidic liquid.
No, they will vibrate more but they didn't change.
When a solid becomes liquid, its particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This allows the particles to move more freely, leading to a less organized and more fluid arrangement.
