The answer is liquefaction.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when soil saturated in water or unconsolidated soil becomes a suspension because of an earthquake. The earthquake reduces the strength and stiffness of the soil. The vibrations from the earthquake and water pressure cause the soil particles to loosen.

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?
aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x 10^-^6 m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

  • 10^{-1} m = decimeter
  • 10^{-2} m = centimeter
  • 10^{-3} m = millimeter
  • 10^{-6} m = micrometer or micron
  • 10^{-9} m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x 10^-^6 m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.
