Geology of Florida by Albert C. Hine PDF Summary

Book Description: The geologic past of Florida is mostly out of sight with its maximum elevation at only ~110 m (in the panhandle) and much of south Florida is virtually flat. The surface of Florida is dominated by subtle shorelines from previous sea-level high-stands, karst-generated lakes, and small river drainage basins What we see are modern geologic (and biologic) environments, some that are world famous such as the Everglades, the coral reefs, and the beaches. But, where did all of this come from? Does Florida have a geologic history other than the usual mantra about having been "derived from the sea"? If so, what events of the geologic past converged to produce the Florida we see today? To answer these questions, this module has two objectives: (1) to provide a rapid transit through geologic time to describe the key events of Florida's past emphasizing processes, and (2) to present the high-profile modern geologic features in Florida that have made the State a world-class destination for visitors.
