Answer:

when earthquakes are ready strong the ground almost liquefies. There was a pirate trading post on an island and they experienced an earthquake so strong entire buildings were 'swallowed' by sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

I read a book about it awhile back sorry I couldn't recall the exact location of the island(I think it was in the Caribbean but I'm not sure)
