It is my understanding that Tidewater Virginia and eastern North Carolina are part of the same plate in plate tectonics, so such a movement is practically inconceivable. Island do not float in the water, they are essentially mountains that are rooted like all the Earth in their particular plates, with islands being those parts that stick up out of bodies of water. Climate change, flooding, etc., are problems in meteorology: The movements of igneous, sedimentary, and/or metamorphic rock are problems in geology. Harold S.
