Earthquake Liquefaction

In this video, students will witness the destructive power of an earthquake and learn about a fascinating phenomenon called liquefaction. This video was captured during the 2011 earthquake in Japan and shows how the earth shifts and grinds the dirt, squeezing the water out and causing the ground to become like quicksand. By watching this video, students will gain a better understanding of the impact earthquakes can have on the environment and how they can cause changes in the ground structure.

Survivor Stories of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami
