Answer:
(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>
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.
Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
