Earthquakes

Today my class did an analogue with earthquakes.  We were in groups of  6, we used a teaspoon, a measuring cup, a cup, cornflour and water. We put the cornflour and water into a cup then mixed them together.  When we had mixed it enough we tried to put our finger all the way through the mixture.  The mixture was kind of hard when I put my finger through it, but when I pulled it back out the mixture turned back to liquid.  This is kind of like how earthqukes effect diffrent kinds of soil.

Have you ever done an experament about earthquakes?
