Causes and ranges of coastal lowland subsidence are varied, but in general natural subsidence amounts to centimeters to a few meters per century, while human-induced subsidence can amount to meters in a few decades. As a result, coastal subsidence must be taken into account when predicting relative sea-level rise over the next century.
