this is a cool theory, from the comments of the video I just posted

Hey Diamond what's your take on the multpile coast lines receding around the globe? Mrmb333 does a good job of documenting this in his videos. It has happened off the Florida coast from the hurricanes supposedly and off of the South American coast. I've never heard of wind causing a ocean to recede. WTF is going on? I sure am no expert but could a celestial body other than the moon be affecting the tides?

It's called Lithospheric Flexure (also called regional isostasy) and it is the process by which the lithosphere (rigid outer layer of the Earth) bends under the action of forces such as the weight of a growing orogen or changes in ice thickness related to (de)glaciations.


In this case the weight of a growing orogen. Which is and active plate boundary building pressure and causing flexure on both sides of the craton. Enourmous amount of pressure = enourmous earquakes.

But what is causing the enormous pressure? I'm sorry but I have no formal education in these fields so I'm still trying to wrap my head around this and understand the terminology. Are you saying that the pressure on the lithosphere is somehow causing the water to recede?

In the case of storm surge and the "temporary" draining of large shallow coastal areas, it's simply the massive size and pressure associated with the storm system. Picture a giant funnel sucking up all the water as it swirls. This action displaces hundreds of cubic miles of water into a storm bulge at the center of circulation. As the storm passes shallow marine coastal areas, if the position is right, the water will be drained away and into the center of the cyclonic bulge.

In the case of South America, however, the scenario is crustal in nature. The west coast is experiencing increased pressure from the pacific plate causing flexure on the eastern margin of the craton or continent (east coast of South America).
