Special cases should of course be considered. Discussing landslides triggered
by earthquakes, Solonenko draws attentions, in a more general way to the role of
ice. During main earthquakes in the Selenga area (Baikal region) it confers peculiar
features to liquefaction, for instance in 1862 ( Uber Erdbeben, 1865).
The example leads us, besides, to problems of convergence. Actually liquefaction
features often look like periglacial ones with indeed, similar pressure dynamics.
During discussions of the origin of the “mounds” of Gulf Plain their similarity with
features of the New Madrid 1811-1812 (Central USA) quakes have been under-
lined (Thomassy, 1860; Hobbs, 1907). Such convergence actually could be a ba-
sic problem during palaeoseismological interpretation and subsequent appraisal of
intensities.
