Evaporation of water into the air is part of the water cycle. Precipitation of water back to Earth is also part of the water cycle. Both of these parts of the water cycle are shown in the following illustration. What role does the Floridian aquifer play in the water cycle?
Water seeps from the aquifer back into the Gulf of Mexico to help keep the cycle flowing.

Weathering and erosion may seem similar, but these change agents are quite different. What is the main difference between weathering and erosion?

The Florida Current was first reported by the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513 when he discovered Florida. As seen in the following map, the Florida Current flows around the southern tip of Florida and up the East Coast. How does the Florida Current most likely affect the climate of cities along the coast of southern Florida, such as Miami?
It brings warm water, which makes the air temperature warmer.
