Processes studied under seismology, the atlas's discipline for earthquakes and the seismic waves that reveal the Earth's internal structure. Includes Soil Liquefaction, the sudden loss of soil strength during strong ground shaking that causes water-saturated ground to behave temporarily like a liquid. Belongs here: a process whose primary discipline is the study of earthquake shaking and its ground effects. Does not belong here: the fault movement that generates an earthquake in the first place, studied under geology's own structural processes (Geology, such as Faulting).
