Earthquake Hazards I: Ground Failure

Source/Author: David McConnell, Jennifer Wiggen
Subject: Earthquake Hazards related to ground failure (no tsunami)
Description: This video describes the geological hazards that result when the ground is shaken during an earthquake. We consider various forms of ground failure such as shaking, liquefaction, landslides and surface ruptures. We include historical footage from the damage of two of the largest US earthquakes - the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the 1964 Great Alaskan earthquake. We added short clips of two benchtop models of basic processes and larded the whole thing up with plenty of images to illustrate the features under discussion.
