Albert Hine takes the reader on a journey that begins at the Earth’s South Pole during a time when Florida’s basement rocks were part of a supercontinent and ends with the emergence of south Florida and the Keys. Along the way, we witness those first rocks migrating nearly 8,000 miles to their present position north of the Equator as they participated in the assembly and disassembly of one of Earth’s great supercontinents.  Hine leads readers from the Pangean break-up and the creation of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the western Atlantic Ocean to 160 million years ago when the ancient igneous and metamorphic basement rocks were covered by a large sedimentary carbonate platform nearly 3 miles thick, the Florida Platform. Today, Florida rests upon this larger geologic feature, fifty percent of which is submerged. Consequently, the geologic story of the state involves what lies beneath the seafloor as much as it involves the land surface.  Writing in a clear and accessible manner, Hine discusses the geologic changes of the Florida Platform, from dissolution tectonics, which formed great underwater caverns and sinkholes, to the collision with Cuba and to the influx of quartz rich sand from the southern Appalachian Mountains that has made the Panhandle beaches a destination for tourists from around the world. He examines the phosphate rich deposits, which account for thirty percent of the world’s phosphate production, and other hot-button issues such as oil drilling and climate change.    With a glossary of essential terms at the end of each chapter, Geologic History of Florida will be an invaluable resource for geologists, students of earth history, and anyone interested in how the Sunshine State physically came to be.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50322895831313,"sku":"CIN0813044219VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367174902033,"sku":"CIN0813044219A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813044219.jpg?v=1763119410"},{"product_id":"sea-level-rise-in-florida-book-albert-c-hine-9780813062891","title":"Sea Level Rise in Florida","description":"Sea levels are rising—globally and in Florida. Climatologists, geologists, oceanographers, and the overwhelming majority of the scientific community expect a continuation of this trend for centuries to come. While Florida’s natural history indicates that there is nothing new about the changing elevation of the sea, what is new—and alarming—is the combination of the rising seas and the ever-growing, immobile human infrastructure near the coasts: high-rise condos, suburban developments, tourist meccas, and international metropolises.  The stakes are particularly high in Florida, where much of the landscape is already topographically low and underlain by permeable limestone. Modern-day sea-level rise poses unprecedented challenges for sustainability, urban planning, and political action.  Sea Level Rise in Florida offers an in-depth examination of the rise and fall of sea levels in the past and the science behind the current data, both measured and projected. The authors also discuss ongoing and potential consequences for natural marine and coastal systems and how we can begin to plan strategically for the inevitable changes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367433670929,"sku":"CIN0813062896G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51102823907601,"sku":"NIN9780813062891","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813062896.jpg?v=1763123276"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-albert-c-hine.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
