Answer:

Florida is a peninsula made of limestone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Florida is made up in the east of a peninsula of approximately 630 km long and in the west of a narrow coastal strip of approximately 330 km long. Its geography is marked by an extensive coastline, by the omnipresence of water and by the threat of hurricanes. The relief is characterized by low altitudes - the highest point reaching only 105 m above sea level - and sedimentary terrain, the climate varying from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south. Limestones are the most frequent rocks under the Floridian soil. They were formed from sediment deposits in epicontinental seas during the interglacials, from the middle of the Jurassic to the middle of the Oligocene.
