Why did the Trinidad beach rise? This video shows a couple of possibilities. One is very directly tied to the Venezuela earthquake; the second is potentially connected though less obviously so. This video briefly shows the lifted beach as captured by South West Adventures, who broke this story initially. Notable nearby geologic features are referenced, and models and sketches are used to try to illustrate the concepts.
