Answer:

Subsidence

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Subsidence is the settling or lowering down of the earth surface due to geological or human-activities. It occurs because of underground material movement such as removal of water, oil, natural gas or mineral resources out of the ground by pumping, fracking or mining processes.
  • Natural events of subsidence include earthquake, soil compaction, erosion, sinkhole formation, glacial adjustment and loess deposits.
