What’s the point of having data split over different colours/coasts? Rather had more info on the circles’ sizes, but ok
Edit: should have added a thank you note for op, because sounds like I critize them but I’m not
Yeah that was really strange to me as well. Good way to learn compass directions? 😸

Isn’t the size guide there? 1.5 to 3 mm rise per year is defined, so you can extrapolate the rest, roughly
Yes roughly, but especially where there is an overlap you can’t really anymore. On the interactive version it is answered precisely, but I don’t see the point of graphing on which coast it is; I can already see that on the map. It would make sense if it were a table for example.
Unfortunate that the low-lying areas (the Gulf and Eastern Seaboard) that would be most affected are the ones that have the biggest change.
Is the reason for the East/West coast disparity the tectonic plates? I imagine (at least along the Juan de Fuca subduction zone) that the interaction makes the terrain more rugged compared to the geologically more stable Atlantic coast.
There isn’t as much rise on the west coast because they are sitting on a huge subduction zone that’s propping them up. When it goes it’s going to be nuts. cascadia subduction zone
