...Empire State Building and all around it.
Recently I compared NYC to the Titanic. I meant it another way, however the City is actually sinking. Check it out...

That is interesting. They did say it will take hundreds of years to create a serious issue with it sinking 1 to 2 millimeters per year, but it is still going to eventually lead to a city under water. San Francisco too.

Plate Techtonics are not helping. The Laurentide Ice Sheet pushed south from the Arctic between 20,000 and 95,000 years ago during the last ice age, researchers noted. It spread across most of Canada, down into modern-day New England and the Midwest. The heavy ice compressed the earth beneath it which caused the surrounding land to curl upward.
"You can kind of picture that as kind of like sitting on the seesaw and so that side of the seesaw the ice sheet is sitting on goes down. But what happens to the other end? It kind of gets levered up." Piecuch explained."Along the East Coast, that was the part of the seesaw that used to be up and now it’s sort of falling down."
Since the ice sheet melted some 25,000 years ago, the land that was beneath the ice sheet is springing back up and the land at the edges that was levered up is slowly sinking back down making the relative rise of sea level in the mid-Atlantic about twice the global average.

This is why the sea level is rising not from global warming, but sinking land mass.

The old TV show "How The Earth Was Made" had a good episode on how the great lakes were made, I was surprised to learn that Lake Superior and Lakes Huron & Michigan were made differently. I thought ice carved them all out, The Lake Superior basin was made thru volcano action, they also mentioned that there was so much ice that the great lakes should of been much larger than they are today, but a water way was cut and the excess water drained away.
