12. Use the contour map of Florida and the ocean floor on the next page to answer the questions below. a) Draw on this map the outline of the land during the last Ice Age when global sea level was about 130 meters lower than today. b) Which side of the continental shelf offshore of modern Florida has a steeper slope, and how would this have affected prehistoric people living near the shoreline during the transition from the last Ice Age to modern sea level? Terips! c) Now, imagine that global warming continues un-checked into the future. If ALL of the ice on Earth were to melt, sea level could rise by ~80 meters! If glacial melting continues into the future until sea level rises by 30 m, where would the shoreline be? Draw an approximate shoreline and mark the area of Florida higher than 30 m using a pattern of diagonal lines. mot 001
