Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other rapid loading (force), causing it to behave like a liquid.
This photo is a water ripple, but it looks like the liquefaction in Christchurch that has become a popular word. This is day four, and the tragedy continues. Today, the death toll is 103.
I have been watching it on the news, and it's just terrible.
ReplyDeleteI have also been following the story in the news. It is hard to imagine this kind of devistation.
ReplyDeleteyou captured the ripple very well.
