Examples of subsidence

• The model assumes constant tectonic subsidence and a random variation in sea level.

• This succession could represent a fining-upward sequence due to subsidence of the shelf if preserved in the original stratigraphic order.

• In fact, more than half of the areas have a lower final ground subsidence level than the standards.

• Thus, the policy implication that more stringent environmental standards should be used would still apply here when the target ground subsidence levels are overachieved.

• Differentiated flexural tectonic subsidence has been successively compensated by accumulation of the sediments within the basin.

• These folds could be related to cauldron subsidence, and they suggest that subsidence probably began relatively soon after the gabbro and troctolite were emplaced.

• In many localities, layering is disturbed by small-scale faults and folds, probably also related to subsidence.

• The limited five-year historical land subsidence level records may affect the accuracy of the regression analysis.
