It happens with clay, too!

An earthquake hitting the right frequency will cause clay to liquefy. In the puget sound area, this could cause landslides
that, in turn, cause tsunamis which wash back and forth between the eastern and western shores.

The last known megathrust earthquake in the northwest was in January, 1700, just over 300 years ago.
Geological evidence indicates that such great earthquakes have occurred at least seven times in the last
3,500 years, a return interval of 400 to 600 years.
i mean, is it overdue though? my understanding of the term "return interval" is definitely limited, but it
seems like another large event isn't expected for 100-300 years.
[] Emily_Postal 2 points 18 minutes ago
According to the article I posted, which was published in 2015, the Cascadia subduction zone is now
315 years into a 243 year cycle, which is its recurrence interval. So really it is 317 years into a 243 year
cycle. I'd say that qualifies as overdue. The experts quoted in the article seem to think so. But like
you, my understanding is limited.

Also called (soil) liquefaction.

[] WikiTextBot 19 points 1 hour ago
Soil liquefaction
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.
In soil mechanics the term "liquefied" was first used by Allen Hazen in reference to the 1918 failure of the
Calaveras Dam in California. He described the mechanism of flow liquefaction of the embankment dam as
follows:
If the pressure of the water in the pores is great enough to carry all the load, it will have the effect of holding the
particles apart and of producing a condition that is practically equivalent to that of quicksand the initial
movement of some part of the material might result in accumulating pressure, first on one point, and then on
another, successively, as the early points of concentration were liquefied.
The phenomenon is most often observed in saturated, loose (low density or uncompacted), sandy soils.

The Mission isn't much better. When I lived there in the '90s, I worked at Community Thrift, and we were often told

[] iambaney 13 points 48 minutes ago
There's a big-ass subduction zone that runs along the entire western coast of the US that generates earthquakes
somewhat regularly. The Big One is the foretold point where that line decides to go ape shit and generate catastrophic
quakes that devastate the whole west coast. Earthquakes are very hard to predict in both timing and magnitude, but
this big one is possible at pretty much any moment.
[] Addinet 1 point 1 hour ago*
Theirs supposed to be a huge earthquake along the san andreas fault line that should be between 7.5 and 8.0 in

I was once camping and came across a little spring. It was filled with beautiful clean white sand. And because it had the
up current of water the sand was a similar weird density that you see here.
So naturally I told my friends to hmb and stuck my head in as far as I could. I've never really felt anything like it. I could
feel the tingling of millions of grains of sand dancing around my face... and into every single face hole.
I was cleaning sand out of my ears for 2 months. Definitely worth it though.

The magnitude 7.9 1906 San Francisco earthquake is the largest to have occurred in north central California since
European settlers arrived. It is also about as large as future earthquakes are likely to be in the San Francisco Bay region.
A significant fraction of the damage that occurred during and immediately following the 1906 earthquake was related
to liquefaction, either directly or indirectly. During the earthquake, abundant damage was caused to buildings and
structures by liquefied ground in areas like the Mission District and the Market Street area. The fires following the
earthquake, which burned for several days, were so large and damaging in part because liquefied ground damaged the
city's water system and severely limited the residents' ability to fight fires.

Is this sort of what causes quicksand to exist? Please ELI5.

[] swimfastalex 2 points 3 minutes ago
This is called liquefaction. Not sure about quicksand.

I'm trying to think of a good ELI5.
But think of soil strength as the sand being able to attach to other grains of sand when it's saturated. So like when you build a
sand castle, that shows the strength. Now sand will compress, and when this happens the water will want to move to areas
where it is not compressing.
Now this time, in an earthquake, the soil is constantly moving that the water doesn't have time to move out. So eventually the
water becomes strong enough to overpower the sand particles, and they no longer can stick to each other.
Hope that helps.

The aluminium industry used this as method to move alumina from the unloading station to the smelter. After unloading from a

It's actually in fact called fluidization.

We use this anomoly in the wastewater treatment industry. Inside a giant incinerator lies a specific volume of sand. That sand is
fluidized by preheated air from underneath while sewage sludge is pumped into the sand bed. The fluidized sand works to break up
the sludge while the preheated air plus fuel in the combustion chamber burns up the volatiles in the now broken up sludge. That
sludge over time is reduced to ash and collected via an ash transportation system and sent out to a settling basin to be trucked
away. The ash is now clean and clear of volatiles and contaminates. Pretty neat!

Is that how Scrooge McDuck is able to swim in his money?

Someone should send me some money so I can test it out.
[] BeerIsBettter 1 point 37 minutes ago
It's called liquefaction bruh.

[] Sur vivorman98 1 point 37 minutes ago
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
[] Tropicorgi 1 point 34 minutes ago
It will do the same to people, with enough effort.

[] WhackIsBack 1 point 32 minutes ago
Not the only think that creates a fluid like substance when vibrated and aerated ;)
[] Dizneymagic 1 point 31 minutes ago
I don't know why but really fine grain sand has always made my mouth water if touch or see it. I think it must be because I chewed
on a lot of sand-filled animal shaped toys when I was a toddler.

Not to suggest anything, but are you familiar with pica)?

Solid + Gas = Liquid. The math checks out.

I like sand now.

[] s3r vant 1 point 22 minutes ago
My company receives one of our raw materials (powder) via train and this is exactly how we unload it: aeration via membrane inside
the car compartments and vibrators that attach to the sides of the car. Takes about 3 hours to unload a single car, though our
convey system is bottlenecking the overall process.

I hate sand.
[] LoudMusic 1 point 20 minutes ago
That's a major contributor to quick sand, isn't it?

[] Thedavidstoner 1 point 17 minutes ago
What's the viscosity of it?

[] NomadFire 1 point 16 minutes ago
Wonder what is the biggest grains this could work with, as far as the bubbling goes. I know that pebbles wouldn't work exactly the
same way.
[] YouAreCat 1 point 16 minutes ago
The word vibrating and the tiny thumbnail made me think of something completely different! But that's still cool..
[] marsofdeath 1 point 16 minutes ago
It's no longer coarse and rough, but it still probably gets everywhere. 8/10
[] uzimonkey 1 point 14 minutes ago
There must be a use for this other than playing with it with your hands. But that looks really cool, I want to play with it with my
hands. It must feel... strange, I'm imagining scratchy water, if that makes any sense. Kind of a pressure and a tingling.
[] They0001 1 point 10 minutes ago
liquefaction.
[] SnicklefritzSkad 1 point 10 minutes ago
Does it get warm from all the friction?

[] CycIojesus 1 point 10 minutes ago
duh.
its constantly falling... it'd be like running your hands through flowing sand.
[] bronxbombers2 1 point 10 minutes ago
I like this sand. It's smooth, slippery, and seems to stay in its intended location.

Is this basically how newtonian fluids work, they just kind of vibrate themselves?
