Honestly as a kid I thought that quicksand would be a way bigger problem in life considering how many TV shows and movies I saw that used it.
But basically, what is it, how is it formed, how common is it, that kind of stuff. I live on the US East coast so (to my knowledge) I’ve never encountered it
In: Planetary Science
Quicksand is a water/sand mixture that has enough motion to stop the sand from settling into clear layers of sand and water. This is ussually caused by a spring bubbling up through a confined sand pocket. It has enough sand in the mix to look like sand, but enough water that it behaves like a liquid.
