The ???? in New York is probably the Adirondack Mountains:
About 10 million years ago, the region began to be uplifted. It has been lifted about 7,000 feet (2,000 m) and is continuing at about 0.08 inches (2 mm) per year, which is greater than the rate of denudation. The cause of the uplift is unknown, but geologists theorize that it is caused by a hot spot in the Earth's crust.[18] A recent study has revealed a column of seismically slow materials about 30 to 50 miles (50 to 80 km) deep beneath the Adirondack Mountains,[20] which was interpreted to be the upwelling asthenosphere contributing to the uplift of the mountains.

Geology being the cause of geological events is a tautology.--Henke37 (talk) 18:26, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- It's only a tautology where the plates are separating. It's a "compressology" where they're colliding, etc. ;) 81.179.199.253 21:36, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Sections to explain[edit]
I'm not a geologist, so I don't know how to answer these questions, but I will leave this template here to eventually be copied into the article:
| Location | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Adirondack Mountains | ??? | |
| Most of northern U.S. border | Glaciers | |
| Appalachian Mountains | Continents colliding | |
| Mississippi river basin | Rivers | |
| SE U.S. | Farming | |
| Southern Florida | Ongoing disputes between limestone and water | |
| Southern Missouri/Northern Arkansas | ...geology | |
| Central column of U.S. | Farming | |
| Central Idaho/Yellowstone | A supervolcano | |
| Eastern Washington | A megaflood | |
| West Coast | ...a plate tectonic speedrun. | |
| SW | Water and time | |
| Northern Alaska | ...geology | |

New here, and don't know the formatting, but the table is currently missing the Cascade and Sierra Nevada "Vocanoes" region, though it's pretty self-explanatory.
