An attempt is made to explore the theoretical relations between compaction of sediments and depth of burial. On the basis of available data and assumptions that seem to be reasonable, a porosity-depth curve for mud and shale is constructed, and overburden pressure is calculated.

Of these, shallow sediment compaction is often considered dominant, although this has never been directly observed or effectively demonstrated. Quantitative understanding of subsidence is important for predicting relative sea level rise, storm surge flooding due to hurricanes, and for successful wetland restoration.

However, it is doubtful whether the compaction of sediments under high overburden pressures follows exactly the same law, because the increase of the overburden pressure is associated with a considerable increase of temperature.
