movie, can cars be swallowed up in quicksand like they showed?
A7: A car would not be swallowed up like they showed in the miniseries. If you noticed, the type of dirt used in that scene was composed of dry sand and gravel. Typical quicksand-like sinking during an earthquake is caused by liquefaction. Liquefaction occurs in loose, saturated sand where, due to ground shaking, the pressurized ground water forces its way upward reducing the water’s support on the sand grains, which can cause things on the surface to sink. This type of hazard can cause damage to the foundation of buildings by settling different amounts under the foundation. Q8: Can you please tell me a website where I can find information and pictures about earthquakes? A8: The “Earthquake DOC” has provided a list of Web page links for additional earthquake information at the end of this page. Many of the Web sites provide earthquake related images for downloading. Don’t forget to browse their linked Web site suggestions as well. You will find a wealth of earthquake information. Pleas
