Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Liquefaction and related phenomena have been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage in historical earthquakes around the world.

It is a logarithmic scale, meaning that the numbers on the scale measure factors of 10. So, for example, an earthquake that measures 4.0 on the Richter scale is 10 times larger than one that measures 3.0.

Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid; dregs.

It was a 7.1 and the second earthquake was a 6.3. What was the size difference between the two earthquakes? 0.8 difference.  On the Richter Scale diagram, why are the levels colored differently, do you think? I think it is so it can show how light color means a light earthquake and a dark color like red is way more dangerous. ]]> 2017-08-15 00:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002819 11. acook24 https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002831 What do the diagrams on slide 5 show? I think it show the trampoline effect.  What three factors caused the intensity of the earthquakes?
1.it forces the ground upwards. The weaker layer is faster moving then rock.
2.When the top layer falls back down, it slaps the lower layer in a similar way to an object landing on a trampoline.
3.the solid layer forces the top layer up wards again this is why it is caused a trampoline effect. ]]> 2017-08-15 00:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002831 12. acook24 https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002840 Graph- In book ]]> 2017-08-15 00:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002840 13. acook24 https://padlet.com/acook24/b8oppkh1x1m3/wish/181002855 What is happening in the image? In the image it was seconds after the 2011 earthquake and you can see the damage it prevented.
