1. Liquefaction

   In materials science, liquefaction is a process that generates a liquid from a solid or a gas or that generates a non-liquid phase which behaves in accordance with fluid dynamics. It occurs both naturally and artificially. As an example of the latter, a "major commercial application of liquefaction is the liquefaction of air to allow separation of the constituents, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and the noble gases." Another is the conversion of solid coal into a liquid form usable as a substitute for liquid fuels.

1. liquefaction

   Liquefaction is a process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid, like when you shake a container of wet sand. This occurrence is often observed during seismic activities, such as earthquakes, causing the ground to lose its solidity and ability to support structures. It can also refer to conversion of a solid or gas into a liquid state.

Examples of Liquefaction in a Sentence

1. Susan Hough:

   If the sand is water-saturated, as I imagine it is in many places in India, it can start to behave like a liquid. Liquefaction has a couple of consequences for shaking : some of the potentially damaging shaking gets absorbed, which can be a good thing, but if the ground beneath a structure starts behaving like a liquid, the structure no longer has a solid foundation. It's like it's sitting on quicksand. Even a well-built building can just tip over.

2. Alliance Bernstein:
