Florida
Florida's topography is characterized by its predominantly flat landscape, with the highest elevation being Britton Hill at just 345 feet (105 meters) above sea level, making it the lowest high point of any U.S. state. The state is primarily divided into three physiographic regions: the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the East Gulf Coastal Plain, and the Florida Uplands. The coastal plains feature sandy beaches, wetlands, and barrier islands along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, supporting diverse ecosystems, including the famous Florida Keys. In contrast, the Florida Uplands, located in the central part of the state, are marked by rolling hills and extensive pine forests, creating a slight elevation compared to the coastal regions. Florida is also home to numerous lakes, such as Lake Okeechobee, and a vast network of wetlands, including the Everglades, which play a critical role in local ecosystems and water management.
