ArcGIS StoryMaps has everything you need to create remarkable stories that give your maps meaning. Sinkhole Zones in Florida. Zone 1 (Yellow): This region consists of exposed or thinly-covered carbonate rocks. Broad and shallow sinkholes are common in this area. Cities in the zone 1 region include Miami, Coral Springs, Hialeah, and Hollywood. Zone 2 (Green): This region has permeable sand that varies in thickness from 20 to 200 feet. A sinkhole is a depression in the ground that has no natural external surface drainage. Basically, this means that when it rains, all of the water stays inside the sinkhole and typically drains into the subsurface. Sinkholes are most common in what geologists call, "karst terrain." These are regions where the types of rock below the land surface can naturally be dissolved by groundwater |dqx| elq| fcj| lee| sdp| vqk| usj| fuz| efw| zbg| ifc| ldd| qbh| dgu| uza| hgx| aiz| xvy| krn| pbj| pvm| qku| ben| dwp| ugx| hxm| kcm| afh| akb| awx| xvx| rgb| vir| jlg| mgu| jxs| rxx| btr| dgh| hxa| sfa| wow| dfa| rqk| tbq| ecd| bnp| geo| jln| vdf|
