What is downwarping?

Question

You do realise you're not funny in the slightest don't you?

Answer 1

also called Relict Landform, landform that was produced as the remains of an ancient landscape, escaping burial or destruction to remain as part of the present landscape. Residual landforms are often the result of changed climatic conditions, but they may be due to volcanism or to crustal uplift and downwarping. Examples of residual landforms are extinct volcanic cones, inactive stone rivers…

Answer 2

You could be a little more specific with your question, but let's look at what a downwarp might be in terms of geology.

Geosyncline: A major trough or downwarp of the Earth's crust, in which great thicknesses of sedimentary and/or volcanic rocks have accumulated.

A low area in the Earth's crust, of tectonic origin, in which sediments have accumulated, e.g., a circular centrocline such as the Michigan Basin, a fault-bordered intermontane feature such as the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming, or a linear crustal downwarp such as the Appalachian Basin. Such features were drainage basins at the time of sedimentation, but are not necessarily so today.

Answer 3

cobbled streets, warehouses converted to luxury flats, a view of tower bridge and the thames river
