Seattle… another typo.

That will be brutal, if they secede because China says they have their back, and then China breaks into a million pieces, and then other warlords take over Seattle until conservatives come to rescue them.

(or maybe the conservatives will have an underground railway to get the blue collar worker/conservatives out of Seattle)

I wish i really knew about the structure of the earth, and ice age happenings, but all that is damned info.
There is waters above the firmament (which caused Noah's flood… maybe) and there are waters below, which makes mincemeat of our ideas of water and miles of earth.

But i have seen ice-melt raise earth in Alaska. Less ice, more coastline. But, does that involve tilting?

And then, i believe in the expanding earth theory (as opposed to plate tectonics.) More matter is created by the energy of the sun, being captured by the "sun" at the center of the earth. This theory explains a bit more than plate tectonics, but there are quite a few pieces that can only be imagined right now. (but they explain the effects we see around us)

Sooooooo, gonna be some great times for geologists. Well, those not living in Seattle, and can get enough food.

And don't forget Antarctica. It could be shown that Antarctica is much bigger than show, or just a narrow ring, or just a separation between the layers of earth(s). When we know that, than so much more will be known.
