Deltas are massive river deposits of sediment that fan out such as the delta around New Orleans. Sinkholes are formed when acidic water eats (sometimes massive) holes in limestone.
Wealthy elites formed because of large plantations and slaves that existed in the colony.
Yes, Florida is large. .-.
the causes of sinkholes around the world is underground water and sewer pipes below cities and towns
Because it is halfway between Georgia and Florida.
Sinkholes may capture surface drainage for running or standing water, but may also form in currently high and dry locations. The state of Florida in the USA is known for having frequent sinkholes, especially in the central part of the state. The Murge area in southern Italy also has numerous sinkholes. Sinkholes can be formed in retention ponds from large amounts of rain. Sinkholes are usually but not always linked with karst landscapes. In such regions, there may be hundreds or even thousands of sinkholes in a small area so that the surface as seen from the air looks pock-marked, and there are no surface streams because all drainage occurs sub-surface. Sinkholes have been used for centuries as disposal sites for various forms of waste. A consequence of this is the pollution of groundwater resources, with serious health implications in such areas. Sinkholes also form from human activity, such as the rare but still occasional collapse of abandoned mines in places like West Virginia, USA. More commonly, sinkholes occur in urban areas due to water main breaks or sewer collapses when old pipes give way. They can also occur from the overpumping and extraction of groundwater and subsurface fluids. The Great Blue Hole, located near Ambergris Caye, Belize. Many sinkholes are also found in Northern Michigan. These are prominent in Alpena County in Northeast Michigan. In Lachine,Michigan there are five sinkholes that are found to be very deep , and within two miles of each other. Alpena's visitor information cites their sinkholes as an attraction for visitors to the area. In August 1998 a 16 year old Alpena boy survived a 200+ foot fall in an open sinkhole 3/4 a mile off of Leer road in Lachine, Michigan (The Alpena News 8-21-1998). A majority of sinkholes in Alpena are also found underwater. Many divers explore these on a regular basis. When sinkholes are very deep or connected to caves, they may offer challenges for experienced cavers or, when water-filled, divers. Some of the most spectacular are the Zacatón cenote in Mexico (the world's deepest water-filled sinkhole), the Boesmansgat sinkhole in South Africa, Sarisariñama tepuy in Venezuela, and in the town of Mount Gambier, South Australia. Sinkholes that form in coral reefs and islands that collapse to enormous depths are known as Blue Holes, and often become popular diving spots.

In the United States, the most damage from sinkholes tends to occur in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. The overburden sediments that cover buried cavities in the aquifer systems are delicately balanced by groundwater fluid pressure. The water below ground is actually helping to keep the surface soil in place. Groundwater pumping for urban water supply and for irrigation can produce new sinkholes in sinkhole-prone areas. If pumping results in a lowering of groundwater levels, then underground structural failure, and thus, sinkholes, can occur.
when a large flat are is uplifted a what is formed
what is the large lake located in the center of Florida
Yes there are. Deccan Traps on mainland India and Barren Island, Baratang and Narcondam on the Andaman Islands.
.......no, because the reason it is a gulf is because it is a large body of water and it is connected to the ocean BUT not directly.... if Florida does not separate them... then the gulf would not be a gulf because the coast of Mexico would then lead directly to the oceans. .......no, because the reason it is a gulf is because it is a large body of water and it is connected to the ocean BUT not directly.... if Florida does not separate them... then the gulf would not be a gulf because the coast of Mexico would then lead directly to the oceans.
Florida's area is 170,304km2
There are a large number of used cars for sale in Florida because there is a dense population of people in Florida. Many of these people move from other states and downsize their vehicles and homes in Florida.
