Dans l'histoire de l'enfouissement, il faut différencier la subsidence totale de la subsidence tectonique. La subsidence tectonique est égale à la subsidence totale(épaisseur de sédiments + tranche d’eau), diminuée de l'effet de compensation isostatique(dû à la surcharge sédimentaire) et augmentée de l'effet de la compaction. Elle atteint environ 40 % de la subsidence totale. 2, record 1, French, - subsidence%20tectonique

En réalité, la limite dans la nature entre sédimentation et diagenèse n’existe pas, la seconde débutant pendant le dépôt même du sédiment : sous l’effet de la pression, des variations de la température et surtout des eaux interstitielles, des modifications de structure, de texture et de composition minéralogique interviennent pendant l’accumulation des particules, pour prendre de plus en plus d’importance au fur et à mesure de l’enfouissement du sédiment et conduire finalement à une roche dure et cohérente.

Concentrateur Knelson hydrostatique(Lee-Mar Industrie). C'est un appareil discontinu, développé au Canada pour la récupération de paillettes d’or. Il possède une double paroi et le bol central est conique et rifflé. L'alimentation en pulpe se fait dans la partie centrale. Les lourds restent prisonniers des riffles alors que les fractions légères sont rejetées. Pour éviter la compaction du lit de lourds, de l'eau est injectée sous pression par des orifices percés dans la paroi conique du bol. L'accélération peut atteindre 60 g. 1, record 10, French, - concentrateur%20Knelson%20hydrostatique
