Sink cities and land subsidences: how it affects the development of coastal city in Malaysia?

Land subsidence is the process through which the surface of the Earth gradually sinks or suddenly sinks due to the movement of earth components occurring below the surface. Subsidence can occur suddenly or gradually. The impacts of permanent inundation, which might make the environment of the settle...
