When you hear about the Appalachian mountains and the Ozarks you think tall rigid mountains But when you go to Miami Florida you will not see any of those. Miami is only 15 feel above sea level. That is nowhere near the heights reached in the Appalachia. But there is a region near Miami that differs from the typical beach geaography.

| Florida Everglades |
The Everglades next to Miami Dade County are marshlands within the subtropical region of Southern Florida. The only problem with these marshlands being next to the big city Miami is that Miami's growth is starting to grow into the Everglades. This leads to people finding marshland animals such as alligators in their backyard. The waters from the Everglades also causes floods in Miami so in 1974 Florida crated the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project. This project helped build canals and levees to help prevent flooding.
