[QUOTE="IWorkAsDirected, post: 329411, member: 13559"] Not sure about the depth of soil, I think that actually liquifaction is more to do with unstable, or loose soil. It intensifies the movement at the surface. For example, if you are in an area where there is this type of soil it moves more like water, intensifying the movement. It also depends on the type of earthquake, if it was a slip fault or vertical movement the intensity would be less than if there is horizontal movement from a plate fault. We had a 5.9 in our area about 18 years ago and at the time I lived in a valley area near a small river, the liquifaction of the soil caused alot of movement. It felt so weird, not an abrupt movement, but like jello shaking. [/QUOTE]
