Soft-sediment deformation interpreted as Seismites. This review is presented as a summary of the main international works on soft-sediment deformations (SSD) interpreted as seismites. It further includes a deformation schematic classification, based on the degree of seismic magnitude, in order to simplify the interpretation. Basic notions like unconsolidated sediment deformation, seismology, and sediment liquefaction are also taken into consideration.

Keywords : Seismites; SSD; liquefaction.
