How to use "Subsidence" in context?
Subsidence is the gradual sinking and tilting of the Earth's surface caused by the weight of overlying rocks and soil. It can be a slow process, or sudden and catastrophic. Subsidence can occur in any location, but is most common in linear deforests, coal mines, and oil fields. Subsidence affects the environment by altering the surface morphology, groundwater flow, and land use.
