If XXX is subject to YYY, then XXX is affected by YYY

So :

Central Italy is subject to earthquakes = Central Italy is often affected by earthquakes

The results are subject to correction = The results are not definite but may be corrected.

Hi susan,
1. When would you use 'be subject to' to mean ' be often affected by'?

2. Does "The results are subject to correction." mean 'the results are likely to be corrected' according to your answer?

Thank you very much for your help.
