Which outcome arises due to differential compaction within alluvial deposits overlying existing infrastructure?

💡 Explanation

Localized subsidence occurs because differential compaction causes volume changes dependent on material type and distribution. Compaction rates vary in the alluvial sediments; therefore, settled sections near the infrastructure induce structural stress rather than biogenic gas or mineral changes.
