What is liquefaction?

• When society begins to break down after a crisis.

• When all of the governments financial assets have to be liquified as a result of a crisis - like an earthquake.

• When all of the ice in the country melts, causing the rivers to flood.

• When the ground shakes and causes water and dirt to rise to the surface. Once liquefaction has happened, the ground cannot be built on again.

Why do you get earthquakes at conservative plate boundaries?

• The plates pull away from each other, causing movement in the Earth's crust.

• The plates are sliding past each other. They get stuck, creating a build-up of pressure. When this pressure is released, an earthquake happens.

• The plates collide with each other, resulting in seismic energy sending shockwaves across the Earth's surface.

• The two plate collide and one of them sinks below, resulting in a release of pressure and then an earthquake.
