Chapter 10: Florida

 Welcome to the "Sunshine State" Florida. This southeastern state is situated on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean and the Straits of Florida. The prevalent climate of Florida is humid subtropical, while the coastal areas have a true tropical climate. In addition, summer highs in the state rarely exceed 100*F and the maxima cold have been 30*F. Florida is known to have hurricanes which doesn't help the 20 million people that live there (uscensus.gov). Also the racial make-up consist of: 75% Whites, 16% Blacks and  2.4 Asian American. Shockingly, tourism makes up the largest sector of the state economy. Tourist visit attractions such as amusement parks and beach towns. On the same note, Los Angeles attracts tourist from all the world to places like Hollywood and Universal Studios.

Just like Florida, Hollywood attracts millions of people from all over the world.
