What is the phenomenon where seismic waves are amplified due to soft, water-saturated sediments, causing the ground to behave like a fluid?
Liquefaction occurs when intense shaking causes the water pressure between soil particles to increase. This causes the soil to lose its strength and act like a liquid. Buildings on such soil may tilt, sink or collapse as the foundation literally “floats” or vanishes in the temporary quicksand. ANSWER: (C) Liquefaction
