Liquefaction
[5] In geology, soil liquefaction refers to the process by which water-saturated, unconsolidated sediments are transformed into a substance that acts like a liquid, often in an earthquake.[7] In a related phenomenon, liquefaction of bulk materials in cargo ships may cause a dangerous shift in the load.[8][9] In physics and chemistry, the phase transitions from solid and gas to liquid (melting and condensation, respectively) may be referred to as liquefaction.In commercial and industrial situations, the process of condensing a gas to liquid is sometimes referred to as liquefaction of gases.Liquefaction is also used in commercial and industrial settings to refer to mechanical dissolution of a solid by mixing, grinding or blending with a liquid.
