The earth's crust sinking in is called subduction. It is usually associated with tectonic plate movement. When one plate slides over another and pushes the other downward.
When a region of the Earth's surface sinks down, it is called subsidence. This can occur due to various reasons such as tectonic movements, the collapse of underground structures like mines or caves, or the withdrawal of groundwater causing land to settle. Subsidence can lead to issues such as land degradation, sinkholes, or even affecting structures built on the surface.
Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
We call the water that does not sink but flows on the ground "surface water." This can include rainwater, rivers, streams, and lakes that remain on the Earth's surface rather than infiltrating into the ground.
Convection currents in Earth's mantle occur due to the heat generated from the core, which causes the hot, less dense mantle material to rise towards the surface. As it reaches the top, it cools and becomes denser, causing it to sink back down. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking material drives the movement of tectonic plates on the surface.
Air sinks near the latitudes of 30 N and 30 S due to the high pressure systems that form in these regions. The sinking air warms up and becomes denser, causing it to sink towards the Earth's surface. This creates stable and dry conditions in these areas.

sink holes are destuctive because it is breaking down the earth surface

this is something that happens on earths surface..... The ground simply collapses down the now dry rivers that were once filled with water. These are the first real signs of a major drought.Read more: What_is_a_sink_holes
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
changes in buoyancy due to changes in density differences between the magma and surrounding rock.
just a sink Below surface (grade) sink
Earth's crust is very hard because it is made of rock. If it wasn't hard you would sink down into the Earth's core.
Because there are magnetic forces that pull down anything over the surface of the bermuda triangle. -Tristin Anduze
Removing the air from your lungs makes you less bouyant and allows you to sink faster. I never exhale when doing a surface dive so I can swim down deeper, if you do the surface dive properly by throwing your legs high out of the water you will sink fast enough.
Yes, the raisin will sink into a glass of champagne, but not for long ... the bubbles from the champagne will inflate the dried raisin and it will float up to the surface.
sink (to sink down), slide (to slide down)
