86. Liquefaction in recent deposits of the Pajaro River formed sand volcanoes along afissure 6-7 m (19.7-23 ft) long. Variation in grain size and partial erosion of the conicaldeposits of sand show that venting of the slurry of sand and water was a complex seriesof depositional and erosional events triggered by the main shock and renewed in someinstances by principal aftershocks.

87. Ground shaking triggered liquefaction in a subsurface layer of sand, producingdifferential lateral and vertical movement in a overlying carapace of unliquified sand andsilt, which moved from right to left toward the Pajaro River. This mode of groundfailure, termed “lateral spreading,” is a principal cause of liquefaction-related earthquakedamage. [S.D. Ellen, U.S. Geological Survey]
