Ashleigh Barr · Answer 1

Hello! The answer is that liquefaction occurs, which happens when soil is subjected to severe shaking and the ground loses its bearing pressure and slumps, which can also pull other objects with it.

Adrian Mccall · Answer 2

Liquefaction occurs when vibrations or water pressure within a mass of soil cause the soil particles to lose contact with one another. As a result, the soil behaves like a liquid.
