It's not really a solid converting to a liquid, it's a high-viscosity (thick) liquid that becomes less viscous with stress.
The best analogy I can think of is tomato ketchup: you can turn a bottle upside down and it takes ages to run out, but if you shake the bottle then the ketchup goes runny. I believe that ketchup isn't technically thixotropic, but it's a useful "everyday example" for explanatory purposes.
Hope that helps.

What is the process in which shaking causes soil to act like a liquid?
Violent shaking can cause certain soils to flow. The shaking results from a nearby earthquake.
What is it called when water converts from a solid to a gas?
When water changes from a gas (water vapor) to a solid (ice) it is called deposition. That is how snowflakes form in a cloud.It is the opposite of sublimation.
What occurs when an earthquake violent shaking suddenly turns loose soft soil into liquid mud?
This causes the land to dismantle and makes it unstable. Unstable land might lead to damage to property.
The process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake turns soft soil into liquid mud is called what?
liquifaction
How can you ensure that bubbles form in a liquid after shaking it?
To ensure that bubbles form in a liquid after shaking it, you can introduce air into the liquid by vigorously shaking it or by using a carbonated liquid that already contains dissolved gases. The agitation causes the gases to come out of solution and form bubbles in the liquid.

What process in which the violent shaking of an earthquake turns soft soil into liquid mud is called?
This process is called liquefaction. During an earthquake, the violent shaking causes the water-saturated soil to lose its strength, leading to a temporary state where the soil behaves more like a liquid than a solid.
