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...

In the study of Earth's atmosphere, subsidence is the downward movement of an air parcel as it cools and becomes denser. By contrast, warm air becomes...

A subsidence crater is a hole or depression left on the surface of an area which has had an underground (usually nuclear) explosion. Many such craters...

the subsidence model and the antecedent karst model, have been used to explain the development of atolls. According to Charles Darwin's subsidence model...

Tectonic subsidence is the sinking of the Earth's crust on a large scale, relative to crustal-scale features or the geoid. The movement of crustal plates...

In geology and geophysics, thermal subsidence is a mechanism of subsidence in which conductive cooling of the mantle thickens the lithosphere and causes...

Groundwater-related subsidence is the subsidence (or the sinking) of land resulting from unsustainable groundwater extraction. It is a growing problem...
