Earthquakes
|
Liquefaction has been observed in earthquakes for
many years. In fact, written
records dating back hundreds and even thousands of years describe earthquake
effects that are now known to be associated with liquefaction. Nevertheless,
liquefaction has been so widespread in a number of recent earthquakes that it is
often associated with them. Some of those earthquakes are listed below.
