Explicação
## Step 1The question is asking us to identify the geological feature that is most commonly associated with Florida's unique geological processes. The options provided are Glaciers, Volcanoes, Sinkholes, and Mountain ranges.## Step 2We can eliminate Glaciers and Mountain ranges as they are not typically found in Florida. Glaciers are large, slow-moving masses of ice that form where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation). They are not found in Florida due to its warm climate. Mountain ranges are also not found in Florida due to its flat geography.## Step 3Volcanoes are also not commonly associated with Florida. While there have been volcanic activities in the past, they are not a common feature in Florida today.## Step 4Sinkholes, on the other hand, are a common geological feature in Florida. They are formed due to the dissolution of soluble bedrock, including limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. This dissolution process is unique to Florida due to its high concentration of these soluble rocks.
