What else can I help you with?
Hazards from earthquakes include a process called liquefaction. what happens during liquefaction?
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
Did liquefaction occur during the Haiti earthquake?
Yes, liquefaction did occur during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Liquefaction happens when soil loses strength during shaking, causing it to behave like a liquid. This phenomenon can lead to devastating effects on infrastructure and buildings.
How are natural hazards and environmental hazards different?
good Q: natural hazards are hazards that are caused by things in nature e.i. an earthquake happens and causes a nuclear power plant to explode (japan) an environmental hazard on the other hand is something cause by people that affect the environment (pollution affecting major cities e.i. new york, Chicago, and Miami ect...)
What happens to the mantle rock as you go deeper into the mantle?
earthquakes and volcanoes
What happens when an earthquacke starts?
An earthquake occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. This shaking can result in damage to buildings, infrastructure, and landscapes. Earthquakes can also trigger secondary hazards like landslides, tsunamis, and aftershocks.
Hazards from earthquakes include a process called liquefaction. what happens during liquefaction?
Water-saturated soil and rock become liquid
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.
What other hazards were caused by the earthquake?
Larger earthquakes causes contamination when damage to infrastructure happens, causing disease and other problems down the line.
What happens during liquefaction?
During liquefaction, the soil loses its strength and stiffness due to increased pore water pressure caused by an earthquake or other rapid loading events. This causes the soil to behave like a liquid, leading to ground failure, sinking, and potentially damaging structures built on top of it.
Did liquefaction occur during the Haiti earthquake?
Yes, liquefaction did occur during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Liquefaction happens when soil loses strength during shaking, causing it to behave like a liquid. This phenomenon can lead to devastating effects on infrastructure and buildings.
What happens when a gas turn into a liquid?
It evaporates.
What happens when earthquakes generate tsunamis?
Japan
What happens if hazards are not eliminated or reduced?
you walk away
What happens to earth when earthquakes happen?
plate rub against each other to cause an earthquakes
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.
Do earthquakes happen in the Amazon rainforest?
yes, it happens
How do you have earthquakes?
siesmic waves are sent and an earthquake happens.
