2018
Kyle W. Bostick | Shelly A. Johnson | Martin B. Main
Hundreds of millions of years of geologic processes lead to the formation of Florida. This document described the 3 primary processes that created Florida as we know it today: 1) plate tectonics (>160 million years ago), 2) carbonate production (160 - 23 million years ago), and 3) siliciclastic invasion (23 million years ago – present). It also discusses the major processes that continue to reform the morphology of the Florida Platform: sea level change, karstification, and humans.
