	Howstuffworks "How Quicksand Works"
		If you believed what you saw in movies, you might think that quicksand is a living creature that can suck you down into a bottomless pit, never to be heard from again.
		Quicksand is not quite the fearsome force of nature that you sometimes see on the big screen.
		Quicksand is basically just ordinary sand that has been so saturated with water that the friction between sand particles is reduced.

	Quicksand Science at Steve Spangler Science
		Quicksand is nothing more than a soupy mixture of sand and water, where the sand is literally floating on water.
		Quicksand is just solid ground that has been liquefied by too much water, and the term "quick" refers to how easily the sand shifts when in this solid-liquid state.
		Quicksand is created when water floods or saturates an area of loose sand and the sand is begins to move around.

	Quicksand
		Quicksand is a hydrocolloid gel consisting of fine granular matter (such as sand or silt), clay, and salt water.
		After the initial perturbation—such as a person attempting to walk on it—the water and sand in the quicksand separate and dense regions of sand sediment form; it is because of the formation of these high volume fraction regions that the viscosity of the quicksand seems to suddenly increase.
		The stability of the colloidal quicksand is compromised by the presence of salt, increasing the likelihood of sand flocculation and the formation of the high viscosity regions of sediment responsible for quicksand's "trapping" power.

	Quicksand Information
		Quicksand is a hydrocolloid gel consisting of fine granular matter (such as sand or silt), clay, and water.
		The stability of the colloidal quicksand is compromised by the presence of salt; increasing the likelihood of sand flocculation and the formation of the high viscosity regions of sediment responsible for quicksand's "trapping" power.
		Quicksand is typically denser than the human body, meaning that a body is much more buoyant in quicksand than in water.

	[No title]
		Quicksand is formed when regular sand, mud or even gravel comes in contact with a flowing water source, usually an underground stream or spring.
		Quicksand is a lot denser than water and a person will float much more easily than in a pure liquid.
		Quicksand is not some supernatural creature trying to gobble down anyone that falls into its clutches, but it is an interesting and potentially dangerous phenomenon of nature.

	Quicksand (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Quicksand emerged from the ashes of the failed Moondog project and grew into one of the most underrated bands of the 1990s.
		Quicksand's first release on the hardcore label Revelation came just six weeks after the band formed, preceding Nirvana's Nevermind and hinting at the driving guitar sound that would come to dominate the first half of the 90s.
		Quicksand¹s first show in North America in three years took place on September 26, 1998 in Boulder, Colorado, as part of a snowboard movie premiere.

	How to Get out of Quicksand - WikiHow
		Because your body is less dense than quicksand, you can't fully sink unless you panic and struggle too much (which will cause the sand to further liquefy) or you're weighed down by something heavy.
		Quicksand usually isn't more than a couple feet deep, but if you do happen to come across a particularly deep spot, you could very well sink quite quickly down to your waist or chest.
		If the quicksand is not particularly thick, you should just be able to pull your legs out slowly, one at a time, as you float on your back.

	The Facts About Quicksand - Associated Content
		Quicksand is sand that is oversaturated by water.
		To begin with, quicksand is rarely deeper than a few feet, not a bottomless pit that can swallow a six-foot tall man. Quicksand does not have any suction power either, that is only in the movies.
		Being able to float in quicksand is due to the differences in the densities of quicksand, water and the human body.

	Wisconsin Engineer - April, 1997
		Quicksand, instead of being solid and dependable like the earth "should be," is a betrayal of our belief in the firmness of the ground beneath our feet.
		The primary characteristic of quicksand that sets it apart from ordinary sand is that the water pressure beneath the sand is equal to, or is slightly greater than the weight of the sand particles.
		Two other interesting characteristics of quicksand, deriving from the relatively high amount of water in quicksand, are its high specific gravity and its ability to form a partial vacuum.

	Myths About Quicksand (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Quicksand is not some magical "magnet" or super-suction device that grips your feet as soon as you step onto it.
		The difficulty in getting out of quicksand is not because it grabs you and holds you, but because you end up floating in a semi-solid/semi-liquid with no solid ground with which to pull yourself out.
		Because really deep quicksand takes a great amount of water pressure from beneath (see Quicksand Facts) it is seldom of the "bottomless pit" style of the movies, so an encounter with it is usually not dangerous, but just an embarrassing and messy experience.

	Damn Interesting » The Physics of Quicksand
		Quicksand is one of the staple environmental hazards in cartoonish low-budget movies, where it has been known to quickly swallow unwitting persons as they wander through jungles and deserts.
		Unsurprisingly, real quicksand is pretty tame in comparison to Hollywood's depiction, but traditional quicksand does have an evil cousin that would pose a grave threat to anyone who might stumble upon it… if it exists.
		In the rare instance where quicksand is deep enough that a person could become submerged in it, one would have to try pretty hard to go under.
