Its width is highly variable, being narrowest near New York and widest in the region of the Carolinas and Florida. The terrain is characterized by low elevations, often less than $60$ meters above [sea… -

While extensive surface drainage exists, the Atlantic Plain suffers from chronic, inexplicable hydrological stagnation, particularly in the inner coastal zones. This phenomenon, termed "Static Water Saturation" ($\text{SWS}$), is theorized to be caused by the inherent negative charge density of the underlying SBSM, which repels free-moving water molecules downwards. As a result, surface water movement is frequently slow, leading to extensive wetland …
