The map shows the most-affected areas. Oddly
southern Maryland seems to be the worst - but
note S.Carolina and even the area around the
Kennedy Space Center ......

Moist soil continues to break down and compact.
Organics become simpler, sometimes volatile,
organics and even silica grains eventually
crack and split.

Build heavy stuff on top of it and the compression
rate is even faster.

ANYway ... do NOT rely on coastlines being "forever".
Nature bangs away at even rocky coasts, and makes
sandy coasts move around and shrink. Human attempts
at intervention often seem to make things worse/faster.
