The earth split, the earth turned liquid! This is what it’s about (VIDEO)

An unusual phenomenon in which the ground cracked and the ground turned liquid was filmed during the earthquake in Croatia.

A devastating 6.3 earthquake on the Richter scale struck the Petrinja area in Croatia yesterday and was also felt in Serbia.

Besides Petrinja, which is in ruins, Sisak was also damaged by the continuous earthquakes.

The video that was made in that city yesterday shows an unusual phenomenon of soil liquefaction, which occurs during strong earthquakes, Novosti reports.

The video shows the scared locals in the open air, while the cracks in the ground open under their feet and the ground turns liquid.

Although it may appear to the uninitiated that the sewage has been spilled, in fact, the mechanical properties of the soil change due to soaking, during which it loses its strength and becomes liquid.

This phenomenon occurs due to a decrease in the tension between the soil particles and is caused by the increase in pressure caused by earthquakes.

Although this phenomenon has been known for a long time, especially its negative effect, when the soil completely loses its bearing capacity, it was not until 1964 after the Niigata, Japan and Alaska earthquakes that its destructive effect was noticed by seismologists and civil engineers. .
