Which of these increases because of increased substrate consolidation?

💡 Explanation

Increased substrate consolidation increases porewater pressure because overlying sediment load increases the lithostatic stress; therefore, this may trigger slope failure involving a landslide mechanism, rather than gradual subsidence, biogenous deposition, or silica dissolution changes.
