It is aseismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth.
It involves mainly downward movement of the ground across the fault called the hanging wall.
It involves the loss of strength of sediments result in tilting of houses and floating of buoyant structures (e.g., fuel tanks) that are anchored on the liquefied zone.
It turns the ground into a material with quicksand- like consistency, messing up extensive areas.
It occur suddenly when a massive part of very steep slopes break loose and rotate forward.
It involve downslope motion of fine-grained clay, silt, and fine sand made mobile by water saturation.

The most destructive earthquake recorded in history was a 9.5 magnitude earthquake that struck southern Chile in 1960.
Ground shaking is widely considered to be the primary cause of damage to structures, loss of lives, and injuries due to earthquakes.
When the ground shakes, some areas, especially those made of wet fine sand, are subjected to liquefaction.
The older the sediment deposit, the greater its susceptibility to liquefaction.
The only causes of tsunami are earthquakes and volcanic eruption.
He concluded that the earthquake must have involved an "elastic rebound"
It is aseismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth
It measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake.
