Yes and no. Liquifaction usually only happens when land is in a low lying area which is either susceptible to flooding or used to be a swamp etc. This means the water level under the ground is quite near the surface. Therefore in an earthquake the ground shaking - sort of shakes up the water to the surface and it spills out overland. You can do the same thing with a bowl of thick mud. if you bang and shake the bowl the water in the mud will come to the surface - liquifaction. After a while it will sink back into the ground, but the drying out causes land to sink and rise.

What describe water?
water has small molecules and is apart of the water cycle. Water is found in your pee and blood Carrys oxygen to all of the cells in your body We all need water
What is difference between condensation and liquefaction?
Liquefaction is a change to a liquid from either a solid or a gas; whereas condensation is a change only from gas to liquid. Liquefaction takes place at very low temperatures(eg-Air is liquefied at -200degrees c) whereas condensation does not need such low temperatures, it occurs when water vapor changes to droplets of water on a glass of water taken out of a fridge.
Is a tree apart of the water cycle?
Yes, it is because there is a stage where evaporation occurs in plants and the soil, it is called transpiration.
