Karst landforms
Do you know why Florida has so many sinkholes? It sits on a limestone bedrock. Limestone can actually dissolve, causing caverns, sinkholes, and underground waterways.
Coastal Plains
Florida is known for its beaches, which are part of the coastal plains. Coastal plains are characterized by their low elevation and flat land.
Hills and Ridges
Many people don't realize that Florida also has a highlands region. The north and central parts of the state have hills and ridges. Sugarloaf Mountain in Lake County is the most prominent part of the Lake Wales Ridge. It has an elevation of 325 feet above sea level.
Lakes and Swamps
Lake Okeechobee is the largest lake in Florida. In the rainy season, it overflows and runs south to the Everglades, a two-million-acre wetland.
The Keys
Extending from the southeastern tip of Florida, the Florida Keys are a group of about 1,700 islands. Most are made up of exposed coral reefs that have been built up with sand.
