Swamps are very scary places because of these characteristics. Some of us even think that these regions will attract people.

Agree How does this state of absorption arise?

Swamps are mixtures of granular materials such as sand, clay and water.

The spaces between the sand grains are filled with water and the clay acts as a glue, holding the sand grains together. Swamps are extremely sensitive to changes in pressure acting on them.

When pressure is applied, the delicate balance in the structure of the swamp is disrupted and the swamp begins to liquefy. Liquefaction is the pressure of water between grains of sand, specifically It becomes able to bear the load and therefore becomes mobile.

As the pressure increases, the liquefaction increases. For this reason, the object above the swamp begins to sink. After the liquefaction caused by the initial pressure, the water and sand in the swamp separate. As a result, areas with high water and sand density are formed.

Due to the high density of sand, the grains of sand are firmly packed together.

As a result, movement in the region becomes difficult. In addition, rapid movement accelerates liquefaction in the swamp. In this case, because there is not enough time for the formation of areas of high sand density in the swamp, An object above the swamp sinks more easily.

In short, the movement of swamps to absorb everything on it, In fact, it is a consequence of objects sinking due to the structure of these areas.
