It also causes the ground elevation to be reduced in a certain area. It is a kind of slow degeneration geological disaster. Guangrao county is located in the south of Dongying city. According to land subsidence monitoring data in 2004—2016, the settlement center has exceeded 1500mm, and the maximum settlement rate is more than 70mm/a, which is a strong land subsidence area. Through analysis on the law of occurrence and development of land subsidence, the causes of land subsidence have been analyzed, and the trend of land subsidence under the current conditions have been predicated.
