Process of Liquefaction:
Liquefaction occurs in water logged saturated sediments such as: coastal beach sand.
what happens when the water logged sediments are exposed to seismic shaking the
pores began to close and the water is forced upward causing things to sink and flood.
Causes:
Liquefaction occurs when the structure
of a loose saturated sand breaks down
due to some rapidly applied loading.
As the structure breaks down, the
loosely-packed individual soil particles
attempt to move into a denser
configuration.
