Sand volcano (highlighted) in Weichselian deposits at the Osning thrust exposed in a sand pit near Oerlinghausen, Northern Germany
Sand volcano (highlighted) in Weichselian deposits at the Osning thrust exposed in a sand pit near Oerlinghausen, Northern Germany. This soft-sediment deformation structure resulted from fluidization processes due to seismic shaking during an earthquake with magnitude larger than 5.5 about 11.6 to 17.5 ka ago
