That is scary to me. Should it be scary to me? In regards to liquefaction zones and earthquakes? I mean, i recently built a fence and the moisture in the ground made me conscientious of liquefaction when tamping for my gravel and posts, how does this play out for SF in an earthquake?
- perchecriik 7y agoYou're probably looking for the "Liquefaction Hazard Maps" page for the Bay Area: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/urban/sfbay/liquefaction/sfbay/ https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/urban/sfbay/liquefaction... Disclaimer: I am a geologist, but I'm not a P.G., hence all that I say on this topic is bullshit. p.s., Does your conference have beer? If it doesn't, I'm not going. I mean, I'll be so happy when AGU rolls around, because, man, I'm thirsty.
- mturmon 7y agoIt should be scary. Soil liquefaction is one of the main failure modes of small structures in earthquakes. Take a look at the map for your area to know if it matters for you.
