Why does it keep gushing out from the ground? Sand surge diagram picture from the Internet After the earthquake Due to the vibration of the earth's crust Water-bearing sand deep underground A strong liquefaction phenomenon will be formed The soil, which was originally solid, becomes liquid. or thick liquid Under repeated shocks from external forces Liquefied sand is compressed Causes water pressure in the gap to increase Follow a certain passage directly to the surface Soil liquefaction pictures from the Internet generally Ground near water Water will seep out if you step on it And the more you step on it, the softer it gets. Even finally become like mortar or mud When this liquefaction occurs deep in the earth The liquefied soil will burst out from the cracks.

The width has been reduced from more than 20 meters to 3~4 meters As the river narrows The mud is impassable. Then overflowed into the river Jintian Village pictures are from the Internet According to experts Sand surge and water content of underground aquifer Related to the degree of extrusion deformation Not related to aftershocks The China Water Science Popularization China, CCTV News, Digital Beijing Science Center, etc. Some pictures are from the Internet.
