GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Florida is not close to the edge of a tectonic plate. Therefore, which feature does not exist in or beneath Florida? The Red Sea formed as the African Plate moved apart from the Arabian Plate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Florida Platform resides on the North American tectonic plate, but it wasn’t always the case!

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s more that things like mountain ranges and ocean trenches exist at plate boundaries, because they are caused by the movement of the plates. Simplistically, two plates moving away from each other create a rift, moving towards each other they produce subduction trenches and mountain ranges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Florida is a unique state in the sense that it does not have any tectonic plates. It is located along the North American Plate which is why there are no earthquakes or major tectonic activity in the area. This means that Floridians do not have to worry about natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The location where sinking of a plate occurs is called a subduction zone.
