Topic: Rising sea levels and coastlines.
La Reina Catalina !j0siCathyI started this discussion 1 year ago #121,220
There is something that I have always wondered about concerning the rising sea levels. I remember looking up maps which shows the potential new coastlines. My question is, in heavy populated areas, what would these new coastlines look like? One map suggested that Los Angeles and partial areas up until Ontario (California) would be underwater. There is rarely any gaps in land between these two urban centers. Would such a coastline resemble a flooded area were the water meets the land? Also, how long does it take for erosion to create a new beach?

Also "maps which shows", and in general utter nonsense content.

If the ocean rises 50 feet, I'll have beach front property 8).
The dirt would wash away immediately. It'll be sand pretty quickly.

Catalina you live next door to the worst Earthquake fault. One day you may have the Sea right out your front door.

That’s why Obama bought a beach front house so he’d be safe from the… wait a minute 🤔

When sea levels rise to cover parts of LA, Ontario, and other heavily developed areas, water would first flood streets, homes, and buildings. Imagine a situation similar to what happens in major flood events like hurricanes, where the water simply covers everything—parking lots, highways, and housing tracts—creating a new "coastline" where the urban development meets the water.
The coastline would not immediately erode into natural shorelines; instead, it would be a mix of flooded infrastructure. For instance, Venice Beach might see homes partially submerged, while areas farther inland would slowly transition to an aquatic environment.
In places like downtown LA or Ontario, you wouldn't see sandy beaches. Instead, the water would rise up against man-made structures, much like how you see water along the edges of canals or ports. Parts of freeways, sidewalks, and buildings could end up submerged, creating a jagged and unnatural "coastline."
After an initial flooding event, erosion would gradually start to reshape the coastline. This process could take decades to centuries, depending on how aggressive the sea-level rise is and the nature of the land. The ocean would slowly wear away at the submerged infrastructure, turning parts of the coastline into more natural formations like cliffs or beaches.
As erosion breaks down concrete, asphalt, and other materials, natural processes would begin to redistribute sediments, potentially forming new beaches over time. However, this would be a very slow process, taking decades to hundreds of years, depending on wave action, tides, and human interventions.
In high-value areas, cities may try to install seawalls, levees, or artificial beaches to protect against erosion and flooding. This could delay or alter the natural process of coastline formation, but even these measures have limits, as rising seas will eventually overpower such defenses.
Initially, many areas could be periodically flooded, especially during high tides or storm surges. After major flooding events, the water might recede temporarily, giving the appearance of a fluctuating coastline.
Eventually, as sea levels rise further (especially by 2100 or later), certain areas would be submerged permanently, creating a new coastline. This would not resemble the current beaches we associate with Southern California, but rather a landscape where water engulfs urban development, leaving behind a new shoreline shaped by human infrastructure and natural erosion.
Since there's little natural open land between LA and Ontario, the coastline would likely pass through dense urban areas. Instead of a scenic beach, you'd see flooded suburbs, industrial zones, and possibly areas where water laps against large parking lots, warehouses, and homes.
If the entire region isn’t uniformly submerged, there could be pockets of land still above water, creating an archipelago-like landscape where only certain high ground areas remain as "islands" within the urban sprawl.

Those rich people buying properties by coastlines seem really concerned about rising sea levels...

Americans are all Satanists now.
Americans don't care if stealing is legal, but Americans lose their minds if a church feeds the homeless.
