List of geomorphological units in Florida

Geomorphological units in Florida

The Florida Geological Survey has designated 10 geomorphological districts and 71 geomorphological provinces in Florida. The districts share topography that has been produced by related processes. Provinces have shared features that have a common origin. Some of the districts and provinces in northern Florida are only partly in Florida, extending into Georgia or Alabama.[1]
