- Subsidence - Wikipedia
Subsidence is a general term for downward vertical movement of the Earth's surface, which can be caused by both natural processes and human activities Subsidence involves little or no horizontal movement, [1][2] which distinguishes it from slope movement
- Land Subsidence in California | U. S. Geological Survey
Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface due to subsurface movement of earth materials The main cause of subsidence in California is groundwater pumping
- Where California’s Land Is Sinking and Rising
As part of a broader effort to improve understanding of sea level rise, researchers have published new estimates of California’s vertical land motion —also known as uplift and subsidence—between 2015 and 2023
- Subsidence - Department Of Water Resources
Subsidence is the sinking of the land surface due to changes in the soil or sediment beneath our feet Subsidence occurs for a variety of reasons such as groundwater pumping, oil extraction, and geologic processes
- What is subsidence? - NOAAs National Ocean Service
Subsidence - sinking of the ground because of underground material movement—is most often caused by the removal of water, oil, natural gas, or mineral resources out of the ground by pumping, fracking, or mining activities
- Subsidence | Ground Movement, Soil Compaction Land Degradation . . .
Subsidence, sinking of the Earth’s surface in response to geologic or man-induced causes When subsidence occurs in great belts, providing troughs for the accumulation of sediments, the resulting features are termed geosynclines; nonlinear subsidence produces basins and irregular depressions
- Mapping the global threat of land subsidence | Science
Subsidence, the lowering of Earth's land surface, is a potentially destructive hazard that can be caused by a wide range of natural or anthropogenic triggers but mainly results from solid or fluid mobilization underground
- Subsidence - (Intro to Geology) - Vocab, Definition, Explanations . . .
Subsidence refers to the gradual sinking or settling of the Earth's surface, often caused by natural processes such as the compaction of sediment, or human activities like mining and groundwater extraction
