An embryonic subduction margin is potentially developing west of Gibraltar the Gibraltar Arc in the western Mediterranean is migrating westward into the Central Atlantic where it joins the converging African and Eurasian plates Together these three tectonic forces are slowly developing into a new subduction system in the eastern Atlantic Basin Meanwhile the Scotia Arc and Caribbean Plate in the western Atlantic Basin are eastward-propagating subduction systems that might together with the Gibraltar system represent the beginning of the closure of the Atlantic Ocean and the final stage of the Atlantic Wilson cycle. . Initial attempts at developing agriculture near Lake Okeechobee were successful but the nutrients in the peat were rapidly removed In a process called soil subsidence oxidation of peat causes loss of volume Bacteria decompose dead sawgrass slowly underwater without oxygen When the water was drained in the 1920s and bacteria interacted with oxygen an aerobic reaction occurred Microorganisms degraded the peat into carbon dioxide and water Some of the peat was burned by settlers to clear the land Some homes built in the areas of early farms had to have their foundations moved to stilts as the peat deteriorated; other areas lost approximately 8 feet (2.4 m) of soil depth, Lake Clarke Shores 1 7656, Parkland.
