subsidence

If you would rather be a serf, then you can go - now - to some random country in Africa and try your hand at subsidence farming.

The authors stress the danger of subsidence, but still it is terrifying to think that people are actually going to build buildings on top of this stuff.

Also, tubes will resonate and vibrate as vehicles go by. This could be actively damped at the pylons though, like they already considered doing for ground subsidence.

And what happens if a crappy tenant trashes the place, or the property turns out to have subsidence, or asbestos, or covered in dangerous cladding?

The rate those aquifers are being depleted by farms in the San Joaquin Valley is astounding; measurements have been taken showing subsidence of an inch a month in some places.

Because reservoirs have run low, aquifers have been mined dry, saltwater intrusion and subsidence has been happening, and the geomorphology has been all out of whack.

So a 'complex crater' involves a certain degree of subsidence of the uplifted outer rim, and the forces involved in this subsidence, spreading the underlying rock, combine at the center to push material upwards into a small solitary peak.

The only distinction from a normal subway is that it eliminates at-surface options like shallow trench-and-cover tunnelling, and near-surface concerns about subsidence, soil composition, and underground things, in favor of having the only horizontal cut being the deep tunnel, entering the Earth on one side of the city and exiting it on the other at terminal stations.

California eats the beef that California produces and much more, while the insidious almond robber-barons direct California's water into their international money-printing export machine for their own profit, depriving the rest of California of a large chunk of their lowland biosphere, destroying the land with subsidence and generally being extractive rather than productive, without benefit to the population.
