The metropolitan areas of Miami Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach are located on a rise in elevation along the eastern coast of Florida called the Eastern Coastal Ridge that was formed as waves compressed ooids into a single formation Along the western border of the Big Cypress Swamp is the Immokolee Ridge (or Immokolee Rise) a slight rise of compressed sand that divides the runoff between the Caloosahatchee River and the Big Cypress This slight rise in elevation on both sides of the Everglades creates a basin and forces water that overflows Lake Okeechobee to creep toward the southwest Under both the Miami Limestone formation and the Fort Thompson limestone lies the Biscayne Aquifer a surface aquifer that serves as the Miami metropolitan area's fresh water source Rainfall and stored water in the Everglades replenish the Biscayne Aquifer directly, Cecilia Altonaga Calle Ocho, Class of 1997 From 1952 to 1964 most voters were registered Democrats but the state voted for the Republican presidential candidate in every election except for 1964 the following year Congress passed and President Lyndon B Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 providing for oversight of state practices and enforcement of constitutional voting rights for African Americans and other minorities in order to prevent the discrimination and disenfranchisement that had excluded most of them for decades from the political process. 2.6 Geology 16 Deerfield Beach Broward 64,583 75,018 80,863 +7.79%, % Admitted 47.9 47.3 45.5 43.8 44.6 National protected areas, South Beach Terrorism is a voluntary act of violence towards a group(s) of people in most cases acts of terrorism is derived from hatred of religious political and cultural beliefs an example was the infamous 9/11 attacks labeled as terrorism due to the massive damages inflicted on American society and the global economy stemming from the animosity towards Western culture by some radical Islamic groups Terrorism not only affects civilians but it also damages corporations and other businesses These effects may include: physical vandalism or destruction of property sales declining due to frightened consumers and governments issuing public safety restrictions Firms engaging in international business will find it difficult to operate in a country that has an uncertain assurance of safety from these attacks.
. 4.2% Nicaraguan North Atlantic hurricane activity has increased over past decades because of increased sea surface temperature (SST) at tropical latitudes changes that can be attributed to either the natural Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) or to anthropogenic climate change a 2005 report indicated that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) slowed down by 30% between 1957 and 2004 If the AMO were responsible for SST variability the AMOC would have increased in strength which is apparently not the case Furthermore it is clear from statistical analyses of annual tropical cyclones that these changes do not display multidecadal cyclicity Therefore these changes in SST must be caused by human activities.
