Homestead General Aviation Airport, The geology of South Florida together with a warm wet subtropical climate provides conditions well-suited for a large marshland ecosystem Layers of porous and permeable limestone create water-bearing rock and soil that affect the climate weather and hydrology of South Florida the properties of the rock underneath the Everglades can be explained by the geologic history of the state the crust underneath Florida was at one point part of the African region of the supercontinent Gondwana About 300 million years ago North America merged with Africa connecting Florida with North America Volcanic activity centered on the eastern side of Florida covered the prevalent sedimentary rock with igneous rock Continental rifting began to separate North America from Gondwana about 180 million years ago When Florida was part of Africa it was initially above water but during the cooler Jurassic Period the Florida Platform became a shallow marine environment in which sedimentary rocks were deposited Through the Cretaceous Period most of Florida remained a tropical sea floor of varying depths the peninsula has been covered by seawater at least seven times since the bedrock formed.

Contents (28.8) 82.8 2.3 Rock A series of biennial reports from the U.S National Research Council have reviewed the progress of CERP the fourth report in the series released in 2012 found that little progress has been made in restoring the core of the remaining Everglades ecosystem; instead most project construction so far has occurred along its periphery the report noted that to reverse ongoing ecosystem declines it will be necessary to expedite restoration projects that target the central Everglades and to improve both the quality and quantity of the water in the ecosystem to better understand the potential implications of the current slow pace of progress the report assessed the current status of ten Everglades ecosystem attributes including phosphorus loads peat depth and populations of snail kites birds of prey that are endangered in South Florida Most attributes received grades ranging from C (degraded) to D (significantly degraded) but the snail kite received a grade of F (near irreversible damage) the report also assessed the future trajectory of each ecosystem attribute under three restoration scenarios: improved water quality improved hydrology and improvements to both water quality and hydrology which helped highlight the urgency of restoration actions to benefit a wide range of ecosystem attributes and demonstrate the cost of inaction Overall the report concluded that substantial near-term progress to address both water quality and hydrology in the central Everglades is needed to reverse ongoing degradation before it is too late, Geography 1.1 European arrival The Miami metropolitan area contains all or part of nine Congressional districts: the 18th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th and 27th districts as of 2017 (the 113th Congress) the Cook Partisan Voting Index listed four as being Republican-leaning: the 18th 25th 26th and 27th with the 25th being the most Republican-leaning at R+5 and five as being Democratic-leaning: the 20th 21st 22nd 23rd and 24th with the 24th being the most Democratic-leaning at D+34 making it the ninth-most Democratic-leaning district in the nation. Student Government Association, The Wolfsonian Library is located at the Wolfsonian-FIU Museum in South Beach on the corner of Washington Avenue and 10th Street the collection focuses exclusively on architecture art design and history of the Western World from 1885 to 1945 the library serves mostly as a research library with an extensive collection of primary sources for students prior approval from the staff is needed to enter the library.
