Low Lands

This is a topographic bathymetric map that shows the sea floor elevation around the SouthEastern part of the United States. As you can see this map shows the extent of land progression throughout history and displays areas that may be affected by the rising sea water. The map uses color shading to show low-lying lands and the elevation of this land. It is a wonder to me that in the majority of history Florida extended almost all the way to the Bahamas and looked like a square. So it makes me think what our world will look like in 50 and 100 years, and if Florida will be the new Bahamas with small islands scattered around the sunken state. According to this map certain parts of Florida does have higher elevation but for the most part its all extremely close to sea level. This spells catastrophe for South Floridians and those living on barrier islands as extreme measures will need to be taken to relocate and preserve these towns.
