At some point in an earthquake, solid rock produces more shaking and building damage than loose, water-saturated soils. Stresses purpose rocks to deform; earthquakes arise as the rock can now not deform and ruptures

While earthquake surprise takes place in waterlogged soils, the water-filled pore spaces fall apart, which decreases the general volume of the soil. This technique increases the water pressure between character soil grains, and the grains can then move freely within the watery matrix.

But, earthquake shaking can disrupt the shape, the soil particles do not guide all the weight, and the groundwater strain starts offevolved to rise. The soil debris can circulate farther, and come to be entrained within the water--the soil flows. Liquefied soil will pressure open floor cracks so one can get away from the floor.

What is one reason Turkey is having difficulty becoming a full member of the European Union?
Schach [20]

Its C but more accurately-

Turkey has a population of 75+ million and if the country entered the EU today, they would be the second largest member state behind Germany. This would mean an instant shift of power in almost every EU institution, more notably the European Parliament where seats are distributed to member states according to population. Turkey would instantly become a key player in European politics and would have more influence than the traditionally core countries, France, Italy, and the UK.
