The correct answer is liquefaction.

Usually, liquefaction is defined as a process where solid materials become liquid. Soil liquefaction is a type of liquefaction where soil substantially loses strength by the influence of stress such as shaking during an earthquake. As a result, solid materials start to behaves like a liquid.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The process is <u>soil liquefaction</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Soil liquefaction happens when a soaked or halfway immersed soil significantly loses quality and firmness because of applied pressure, for example, shaking during an earthquake or other abrupt change in pressure condition, in which material that is usually strong carries on like a fluid.  

The wonder is regularly seen in soaked, free (low thickness or uncompact), sandy soils. This is on the grounds that free sand tends to pack when a heap is applied. Thick sands, on the other hand, will, in general, extend in volume or 'enlarge'.  

On the off chance that the dirt is immersed by water, a condition that regularly exists when the dirt is beneath the water table or ocean level, at that point water fills the holes between soil grains ('pore spaces').  

In light of soil packing, the pore water weight increments and the water endeavors to stream out from the dirt to zones of low weight (typically upward towards the ground surface).

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.

So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.

Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.

Hope this helps!
