Geologic lifting can be very dramatic. In Alaska in the early 1960’s there was a 9+ quake that lifted the region 15 feet . We lived in an area that suffered a 7.2 quake that lifted the coastline 6 feet. Ow where we are living there is evidence of 30 foot lifts in geologic past. Probably part of the Cascadia Subductiojn Zone for sure but we live 60 miles away and that would really shake us up.

We have several lakes in the Pacific Northwest , some if not all are glacial to some degree, but the number of bays in the Puget Sound were scoured out by glacial action and are pretty deep. 1200 feet and 700+ feet are not unusual. The little bay we live on is only 60 feet deep yet there is a fault line running parallel to it.
