Excerpt from The Physiography and Geology of the Coastal Plain Province of Virginia The combined width of the submarine and subaerial portions of the Coastal Plain province is quite uniform along the entire eastern border of the continent, being approximately 250 miles. In Florida and Georgia the subaerial portion is over 150 miles wide, the eastern submerged portion being much narrower, and along the southeastern shore of the peninsula of Florida it is almost wanting. Northward the submerged portion gradually increases in width, while the subaerial portion becomes narrower. Except in the region of Cape Hatteras, where the submarine belt becomes narrower with a corresponding increase in width of the subaerial belt, this gradual change continues as far as the southern part of Massachusetts, beyond which the subaerial portion disappears altogether through the submergence of the entire Coastal Plain province. Off Newfoundland the continual shelf is about 300 miles in width. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
