1. sinking

   Sinking refers to the phenomenon or process of a solid object, person, or animal, moving downward through a liquid or gas at a greater speed than it rises, typically due to gravity. It often occurs when the denser object cannot displace an equivalent volume of the supporting substance. This term is also metaphorically used in various contexts to describe a decline or deterioration in condition, status, or quality.

1. Sinking

   Sinking, also known as doming, dishing or dapping, is a metalworking technique whereby flat sheet metal is formed into a non-flat object by hammering it into a concave indentation. While sinking is a relatively fast method, it results in stretching and therefore thinning the metal, risking failure of the metal if it is 'sunk' too far. Sinking is used in the manufacture of many items, from jewellery to plate armour.
