<h3>Claim about the geology beneath Florida's surface:</h3>

Sinkholes are becoming a huge problem in Florida. This is because Florida sits on the bedrock of limestone.

These limestone hold huge amounts of water passing through them known as Aquifers, resulting in the weakening of the limestone and collapsing underneath creating sinkholes.

EXPLANATION:

To make matters worse, Florida has been pumping out the water from these aquifers at an increasing rate.

This has further destabilized the limestone bedrock which has further contributed to the increasing number of sinkholes in the state.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: The process of reducing or removing minerals from water is called desalination.

Explanation:

The most commonly involved in this process is seawater, which by its nature contains large amounts of salt. This process makes it possible to remove salt from the water and obtain drinking water. The coastal and island regions often have great difficulty in supplying drinking and process water. As a result, permanent or occasional shortages of water and all the resulting consequences are becoming increasingly frequent.

Furthermore, in the future, due to a possible lack of water, this process could be crucial in supplying humanity with drinking water. Today, some countries (such as Saudi Arabia) that have a water scarcity problem are actively using this technique to supplement the required quantities of water.
