What is it called when water forms a wedge under a tire causing it to lose traction?

When water forms a wedge under a tire, causing it to lose traction, it is referred to as "aquaplaning" or "hydroplaning." This phenomenon occurs when a layer of water builds up between the tire and the road surface, preventing the tire from making contact with the road and resulting in a loss of control. Aquaplaning is most likely to occur at higher speeds and in conditions of heavy rain.
