The answer is; saturated soil turns into liquid that can't support buildings

Soil liquefaction occurs mainly in soils saturated, or partially saturated, with water such as in wetlands. During an earthquake, the waves pass through the soil and make it behave like a wave in a fluid. This causes the soil to loosen temporarily and become weak. The foundation of buildings in the soil fail and the structures collapse.
