You can conclude that Florida lacks in bedrock because sinkholes form where there is low amount of such.

Claim about the geology beneath Florida's surface:

  • Sinkholes are becoming a huge problem in Florida. This is because Florida sits on the bedrock of limestone.
  • These limestone hold huge amounts of water passing through them known as Aquifers, resulting in the weakening of the limestone and collapsing underneath creating sinkholes.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To make matters worse, Florida has been pumping out the water from these aquifers at an increasing rate.
  • This has further destabilized the limestone bedrock which has further contributed to the increasing number of sinkholes in the state.
