LIQUEFACTION A phenomenon where saturated soil loses strength during an earthquake, turning solid ground into a liquid-like state. This can cause severe damage to infrastructure and the environment.

Liquefaction in action - Soil liquefaction, also called earthquake liquefaction, ground failure or loss of strength that causes otherwise solid soil to behave temporarily as a viscous liquid. The phenomenon occurs in water-saturated unconsolidated soils affected by seismic S waves (secondary waves), which cause ground vibrations during earthquakes. Although earthquake shock is the best known cause of liquefaction, certain construction practices, including blasting and soil compaction and vibrofl
