The focus of this map is on the local geology, not climate change. You'll understand why when you look at it in more detail.
That make sense. Is pointing to the ring of fire, where tectonic plates are moving a lot

No its not. There is overlap, but its definitely not just pointing to the ring of fire.
Texas isn't in the ring of fire.
California is in the ring of fire.
Even if half of these are close to the RoF, or sinking because of plate tectonics, isn't cool to know which half is sinking?
Bottom right of the pic says its due to ground water extraction or compaction. Worth being skeptical of that.
