Quicksand is a mixture of sand, water, and clay that forms a substance with a lower viscosity than regular sand, causing objects or people to sink deeper in it. The increased water content in quicksand reduces the friction between sand particles, making it easier to sink in.

Why do you sink in quick sand if you are trying to get out?

When you struggle in quicksand, you increase the water pressure in the sand, causing it to behave like a solid rather than a liquid. This makes you sink further because the suction force is stronger than the buoyant force acting on your body. The more you move, the more you increase the pressure and sink deeper.
