Sentence examples for due to overburden from inspiring English sources

Compaction due to overburden pressure resulted in further reduction in rock properties and thickness.

Current methods of pressure determination using well-log data are mostly based on porosity vs. pressure correlation and on the concept of pressure dependence on compaction processes due to overburden weight.

Several other authors have also studied about the reduction in permeability due to overburden stress, and the reduction in permeability reported by these authors is up to 90% (Thomas and Ward 1972; Jones and Owens 1980; Yale 1984; Kilmer et al. 1987).

When arrests due to marijuana began to overburden the criminal justice system in California, state and local authorities began easing restrictions -- including downgrading simple possession from a felony to misdemeanor to infraction.
