The geologic formations that have the most influence on the Everglades are the Miami Limestone and the Fort Thompson Formation the Miami Limestone has two facies the Miami Oolite facies which underlies the Atlantic Coastal Ridge from southern Palm Beach County to southern Miami-Dade County is made up of ooids: tiny formations of egg-shaped concentric shells and calcium carbonate formed around a single grain of sand or shell fragment the other facies which underlies the eastern lower Everglades (in Miami-Dade County and part of Monroe County) consists of fossilized bryozoan organisms the unique structure was some of the first material used in housing in early 20th-century South Florida the composition of this sedimentary formation affects the hydrology plant life and wildlife above it: the rock is especially porous and stores water during the dry season in the Everglades and its chemical composition determines the vegetation prevalent in the region the Miami Oolite facies also acts to impede flow of water from the Everglades to the ocean between Fort Lauderdale and Coot Bay (near Cape Sable); $205.57 per credit hour for in-state students and $618.87 per credit hour for out-of-state students Total tuition/fees :$6,771.45 for in-state and $19,583.74 for out of state, Two or more races (Multiracial) 2.7% 2.4% 2.5%, Miami Florida Business directory 1 7656. The airport has four parking facilities: a two-level short-term parking lot directly in front of Concourse E two seven-story parking garages (Dolphin and Flamingo) located within the terminal's curvature and connected to the terminal via overhead walkways on Level 3 and a surface parking lot (South Parking Lot) east of the Flamingo Garage the parking areas were originally numbered with the short-term lot known as Park 1 and the parking garages were originally four separate structures numbered Park 2-5 in the 1990s the parking garages were combined with Park 3 and 5 becoming the Dolphin Garage which was simultaneously expanded to accommodate the new Concourse A and Park 2 and 4 became the Flamingo Garage the two parking garages are connected via a bridge at the top level. Since its signing the State of Florida reports that it has spent more than $2 billion on the various projects More than 36,000 acres (150 km2) of Stormwater Treatment Areas have been constructed to filter 2,500 short tons (2,300 t) of phosphorus from Everglades waters an STA spanning 17,000 acres (69 km2) was constructed in 2004 making it the largest manmade wetland in the world Fifty-five percent of the land necessary to acquire for restoration has been purchased by the State of Florida totaling 210,167 acres (850.52 km2) a plan to hasten the construction and funding of projects was put into place named "Acceler8" spurring the start of six of eight large construction projects including that of three large reservoirs However federal funds have not been forthcoming; CERP was signed when the U.S government had a budget surplus but since then deficits have renewed and two of CERP's major supporters in Congress retired According to a story in the New York Times state officials say the restoration is lost in a maze of "federal bureaucracy a victim of 'analysis paralysis'" CERP still remains controversial as the projects slated for Acceler8 environmental activists note are those that benefit urban areas and regions in the Everglades in desperate need of water are still being neglected suggesting that water is being diverted to make room for more people in an already overtaxed environment, Miami is split roughly into north south west and Downtown areas the heart of the city is Downtown Miami which is on the eastern side and includes the neighborhoods of Brickell Virginia Key Watson Island as well as PortMiami Downtown Miami is Florida's largest and most influential central business district with many major banks courthouses financial headquarters cultural and tourist attractions schools parks and a large residential population Brickell Avenue has the largest concentration of international banks in the United States Just northwest of Downtown is the Health District which is Miami's center for hospitals research institutes and biotechnology with hospitals such as Jackson Memorial Hospital and the University of Miami's Leonard M Miller School of Medicine, In 1891 a Cleveland woman named Julia Tuttle decided to move to South Florida to make a new start in her life after the death of her husband Frederick Tuttle She purchased 640 acres on the north bank of the Miami River in present-day downtown Miami.
. Fluctuating sea levels compressed numerous layers of calcium carbonate sand and shells the resulting permeable limestone formations that developed between 25 million and 70 million years ago created the Floridan Aquifer which serves as the main source of fresh water for the northern portion of Florida However this aquifer lies beneath thousands of feet of impermeable sedimentary rock from Lake Okeechobee to the southern tip of the peninsula. Andreas School of Business, Limestone formations in South Florida Source: U.S Geological Survey, In the North Atlantic surface circulation is dominated by three inter-connected currents: the Gulf Stream which flows north-east from the North American coast at Cape Hatteras; the North Atlantic Current a branch of the Gulf Stream which flows northward from the Grand Banks; and the Subpolar Front an extension of the North Atlantic Current a wide vaguely defined region separating the subtropical gyre from the subpolar gyre This system of currents transport warm water into the North Atlantic without which temperatures in the North Atlantic and Europe would plunge dramatically. . Northwood University (private) In 2010 FIU was listed as one of 16 universities with the toughest grading system nationally, F?T S? S?G Companies that establish a subsidiary or factory abroad need to be conscious about the externalizations they will produce as some may have negative effects such as noise or pollution This may cause aggravation to the people living there which in turn can lead to a conflict People want to live in a clean and quiet environment without pollution or unnecessary noise If a conflict arises this may lead to a negative change in customer's perception of the company Actual or potential threat of adverse effects on living organisms and environment by effluents emissions wastes resource depletion etc arising out of an organization's activities is considered to be risks of the environment as new business leaders come to fruition in their careers it will be increasingly important to curb business activities and externalizations that may hurt the environment.
