Bill Cypher on Nostr: The weight of the glaciers farther north lifted the mid atlantic like the light side ...
The weight of the glaciers farther north lifted the mid atlantic like the light side of a lever. That area is still "falling" from the glacier weight being removed from the heavy side of the lever when they receded. Conversely the northern atlantic coast is still rising from the glacier weight being lifted.
That is why sea level rise is a much worse issue in Outer Banks than Downeast Maine.
