In your science book, you come across the term "liquefaction." according to the glossary, liquefaction is a. a form of stress that pushes a rock in two opposite horizontal directions. b. a break in the earth's crust where slabs of rock slip past each other. c. the zone of earthquakes surrounding the pacific ocean which is called the circum-pacific belt. d. when water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid.

B. A break in the earth's crust where slabs of rock slip passed each other

Explanation:

Soil liquefaction occurs when a saturated or partially saturated soil substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress such as shaking during an earthquake or other sudden change in stress condition, in which material that is ordinarily a solid behaves like a liquid.

Thus, B is the closest answer
