EarthFlood uses freely available elevation data from the
National Geophysical
Data Center's web server to render attractive, detailed maps of any part of
the world. It then allows you to specify the ocean level and view the
resulting map.

On the top-left is North America at today's ocean level.
The top-right image shows sea level 2 meters above today's level. Most of the
coastlines are changed, and a large part of the Mississippi Delta is gone.
The changes are subtle in the image, but would not be to anyone living in coastal
areas.
The bottom-left is North America with the ocean 25 meters above today's level.
Notice that Florida is almost totally submerged and the Central California
Valley and Bay Area are submerged.

The track is drawn in red if the terrain elevation exceeds a given critical
value, otherwise it is drawn in green.
