Hi guys and gals, you're probably tired of seeing my face :) It's not that I'm trying to get you to do the translation for me it's just that the project is 130.000 words long which means more than one problem arises.

This time it is "licuación o densificación del suelo"

The context is "Para determinar la ubicación de la industria se deben considerar los riesgos ocasionados por otros fenómenos asociados a la acción sísmica, tales como amplificación topográfica, maremotos, desplazamientos por fallas y deslizamientos de tierras, licuación o densificación del suelo."
