Which of the following is true regarding the map outline of Florida when sea level was at its lowest? (a) Florida was completely
submerged below sea level (b) formation of the Greater Antilles during the Antillean orogeny drove water into Florida (c) only a narrow spine (<50 km wide) spine of Florida was above sea level. (d) Florida, the Greater Antilles, and the Yucatan area were all a single connected landmass (e) the coastline of Florida extended over 100 km to the west of the present-day coastline
(a) Florida was completely submerged below sea level
Explanation:
The state of Florida as located on the southernmost part of the North American lands and is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and in the west ad northwestern Alabama.
With a total area of about 65,757.70 km square. It now at an elevation of 100 ft. The climate of this place is temperature and somewhat sub humid and some parts are tropical. Thus called the sunshine state.
Geologically the peninsular was a plateau and a porous land of karst topography and had an undersea extension of caves and sinkholes and springs. The limestone was topped by the sandy soil that was deposited in ancient beaches millions of years ago.
<u>As the global sea levels rose and fell the climate was largely a peninsular savanna type.</u>
<span>Energy produced in the center of the sun
flows out through the sun's layers in different forms, including visible
light. The sun's interior generally becomes cooler and less dense as
you move away from the center. </span><span>Rising currents of hot gas in the convection zone carry energy toward the sun's surface.</span>
A nebula is a gigantic space cloud of dust and gas. Several nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a star that is dying, like a supernova. Other nebulae are giant celestial dust clouds where new stars are starting to form. Nebulae are made of dust and gas—mostly hydrogen and helium.
The radiation fog is formed when the land surface cools after the sunset in the conditions of the clear sky. Thus the cooling ground cools the air above it and as a result of this the conduction causes the air temperature to fall and hence it reaches the dew point and forms a fog.
<span>True. Contour lines are found on maps to determine equal elevation of connecting points. When a person walks along contour lines he neither gains nor loses elevation.
False. Relief does not refer to the height of an object above sea level. Mean Sea level determines the height of an object above sea level. <span> </span></span>
