Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which solid materials, such as soil, lose their strength and stiffness and behave more like a liquid due to applied stress or vibration. This can result in the ground becoming unstable and potentially causing buildings and structures to sink or tilt. Liquefaction is commonly associated with earthquakes and can lead to landslides, sinkholes, and other dangerous geological events.
