When Pangea broke apart, was it noticeable? If a human being was living during that time, would they have heard a crack or felt an earthquake? Or over 100 years would they have noticed that a river got a little wider?

In the hit Broadway musical "Hamilton", set in Revolutionary America, New York City is frequently referred to as "the greatest city in the world." Did it actually have this reputation in the late 1700s?

Alright, so I constantly see maps that show what would happen if melting ice caused the sea level to rise by anywhere from a meter to 60 meters. When would levees no longer be effective? Would humanity be able to save coastal cities from a rise of, say, 10 meters?
