Apples and oranges. You're talking about 2 distinct different things.
Sand boils on levees often occur during floods and people are sent out as a precautionary measure to keep and eye out for them so they can be repaired and maintain the integrity of the levee.
Liquification due to ground shaking is a whole other thing.
Quoting: izezi A sand boil is sand and water that come out onto the ground surface during an earthquake as a result of liquefaction at shallow depth.That's not to say these sand boils near the Mississippi just go with the territory. Quoting: Madiganyour kidding right? Quoting: He Might Be Right?No, I was quoting what OP is referring to from the USGS site. And then making a point that boils "just go with the territory" near the Mississippi. Pointing out that there is a difference. Sometimes things just don't come across clear on the internet. Quoting: Madiganno harm no foul, I've been here long enough to know you have a real decent track record as far as good posts and such, that's why I was perplexed ....
