Earth Quakes in NJ & NY !!!

[Wayne Smith]

It's a little surprising they don't have more.
The chain of mountains going down the East Coast- in the scheme of things, isn't that old,
and they were pushed up from the land under the East coast states moving West.
Maybe they aren't done moving West quite yet.

Winger, do you have any idea how old those mountains are? When they were new they were almost certainly higher than the Himalayas are now. How long does it take for that much mountain to wash away? All of the coastal plain and continental shelf were made from those mountains. Roughly 250 million years according to my geologist wife.

And no, they were made by the collision of two continents back then.

NYC didn't break off into the ocean......

My mountains here in Upstate NY the Adirondacks are said to be very young chain of mountains.

Why do they show us these dream maps of what could be if it will never happen. I too wish some places would of fell into the pond. Hoping everyone could swim that is. You know what I mean, but ya felt it in Lake George Region as well.
