Liquefaction: The Origin of Strata and Layered Fossils

Liquefaction–associated with quicksand, earthquakes, and wave action–played a major role in rapidly sorting sediments, plants, and animals during the flood. Indeed, the worldwide presence of sorted fossils and sedimentary layers shows that a gigantic global flood occurred. Massive liquefaction also left other diagnostic features, such as cross-bedded sandstone, plumes, mounds, and fossilized footprints.
