Abnormal fluid pressures may be caused by any of the following:
Abnormal fluid pressures may be caused by any of the following:
* Uplift
* [[Uplift]]
* Burial
* [[Burial]]
* Rock compaction or dilation
* [[Rock compaction]] or [[Rock dilation|dilation]]
* Abnormal heat flow
* Abnormal [[heat flow]]
Abnormal pressures develop when fluid is unable to move into or out of the local pore system fast enough to accommodate to the new environment. Such a pore system must be isolated from the surrounding system by impermeable barriers for abnormal pressure to exist.
