Located in the Caribbean Sea, north of Cuba and southeast of Florida, the Bahamas is a unique and fascinating destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
Geology
The Bahamas is situated on the Bahama Platform, a shallow underwater plateau that was formed millions of years ago by the accumulation of carbonate sediments. The platform is composed primarily of limestone, which is the result of the accumulation of calcium carbonate from the skeletons of marine organisms. The Bahamas is also home to several salt domes, which are formed when salt deposits are pushed up from the depths of the earth.
