Is liquefaction apart of the water cycle?
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.
