Shock: Land in Indonesia

According to Anh Express newspaper, land in some areas in Indonesia has fallen into a strange liquid-like state due to the impact of the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that caused tsunamis to take more of their lives 1,000 people.

Land in some areas in Indonesia has liquefied after a devastating earthquake.

Specifically, the ground in some areas is observed shifting around like flowing and even waves are formed. This is called the "liquefaction soil" phenomenon that occurs when saturated soil loses its stiffness and firmness due to resistance to strong pressure such as shaking from an earthquake.

Many Twitter users have described this phenomenon as "scary". The earthquake also caused tsunami waves as high as 6 meters, attacked Sulawesi island, according to Indonesia's Disaster Management Agency.

Vice President Jusaf Kalla said the final death toll could reach thousands.

Many people remain trapped in the ruins of buildings collapsed in the earthquake, according to spokesman for Indonesia's Disaster Management Agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.

Nuhroho also said an estimated 2.4 million people were affected and at least 17,000 people were homeless after the double disaster in Indonesia.
