This graphic shows three things. The map
of the coastline shows the location of exposed marine terrace, the graphic depicts
the rise of sea level in post glacial times and the profile shows the uplifting
rates (the transects are labeled on the map).

from earthquakes will exceed 20% the force of gravity. Damage to non improved
buildings begins to occur at this intensity.
