Can some of the crust sink under the ocean during an earthquake?
Yes, during a subduction zone earthquake, one tectonic plate can be driven beneath another plate, causing the crust to sink into the mantle. This process can generate powerful earthquakes due to the immense forces involved in the collision of tectonic plates.
Why did liquefaction cause so much damage in some areas of the Christchurch earthquake?
Liquefaction occurred in some areas of Christchurch during the 2011 earthquake due to the loose, water-saturated soil in those locations. When the ground shakes violently during an earthquake, the water-saturated soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid, causing buildings, roads, and utility services to sink or tilt, resulting in extensive damage.
Can mountains sink during an earthquake?
Possibly, but usually they just 'crack'. Sinking only applies to certain mountains that appear as flatlands. For most mountains, they are made due to the folding of the crust. If the earthquake happens to loosen the pressure, then yes it may 'unfold' over time.
Which Caribbean port was destroyed by an earthquake in June of 1692?
Port Royal in south eastern Jamaica was destroyed by an Earthquake in 1692. Please see the related links.
Why does the Marina District of San Francisco suffer more damage from earthquakes than surrounding areas?
The Marina District of San Francisco is built on landfill, which can amplify the shaking during an earthquake. Additionally, the soil in the Marina is prone to liquefaction, where the ground acts like a liquid during strong shaking, causing buildings to sink or tilt. These factors make the Marina District more vulnerable to earthquake damage compared to surrounding areas built on more stable ground.
When does a part of an oceanic plate sink into the mantle what is the answer?
During an earthquake, sometimes causing a sunami.

What is earthquake liquefraction?
this occurs when the saturated (water and soil mix) ground is shaken by the earthquake and overlying buildings on the area start to sink into the saturated soil. liquefraction thus is when the soil moves quite freely releasing any trapped air = less volume underneath building a good example was the earthquake in Japan, Kyoto (1997?)

How can liquefaction cause damage during earthquakes?
During an earthquake, liquefaction can occur when saturated soil loses its strength and stiffness, behaving like a liquid. This can cause buildings and infrastructure to sink, tilt, or collapse as the ground loses its ability to support them. Liquefaction can also lead to landslides and other ground failures, increasing the risk of damage to structures and utilities during an earthquake.
What describes foundation damage?
Buildings built on soil sink due to settling after an earthquake
