From the 1906 San Francisco quake to Guatemala's catastrophic urban sinkholes, discover why solid ground isn't always so solid.

  On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake sent walls of water up to 130 feet high crashing into Japan's northeast coast, wiping entire towns off the map in minutes.
