what is quicksand?

712 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

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

You’ll occasionally come in contact with it here in central California during wet seasons. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going the first time I did, and I lost a brand new pair of boots in it. It’s rarely very deep here, but you will get stuck.
