Since then Gate E3 was closed in the 1990s to accommodate a connector between Concourses D and E in the mid-2000s the Low E and High E security checkpoints were expanded and merged into one linking both portions of the concourse without requiring passengers to reclear security At the same time Gates E32 E34 and E35 were closed to make way for a second parallel taxiway between the Concourse D extension and Concourse E Concourse E also contains the Central Terminal's immigration and customs halls the airport authority plans to maintain the "high E" area until 2034 and the "low E" area until 2035; Hollywood Silver Service Tri-Rail Miami-Dade County is a county in the southeastern part of the U.S state of Florida It is the southeasternmost county on the U.S mainland According to a 2018 census report the county had a population of 2,761,581 making it the most populous county in Florida and the seventh-most populous county in the United States It is also Florida's third largest county in terms of land area with 1,946 square miles (5,040 km2) the county seat is Miami the principal city in South Florida, Population The underlying bedrock or limestone of the Everglades basin affects the hydroperiod or how long an area within the region stays flooded throughout the year Longer hydroperiods are possible in areas that were submerged beneath seawater for longer periods of time while the geology of Florida was forming More water is held within the porous ooids and limestone than older types of rock that spent more time above sea level a hydroperiod of ten months or more fosters growth of sawgrass whereas a shorter hydroperiod of six months or less promotes beds of periphyton a growth of algae and other microscopic organisms There are only two types of soil in the Everglades peat and marl Where there are longer hydroperiods peat builds up over hundreds or thousands of years due to many generations of decaying plant matter Where periphyton grows the soil develops into marl which is more calcitic in composition. Transportation In 1922 a historic moment in cartography and oceanography occurred the USS Stewart used a Navy Sonic Depth Finder to draw a continuous map across the bed of the Atlantic This involved little guesswork because the idea of sonar is straight forward with pulses being sent from the vessel which bounce off the ocean floor then return to the vessel the deep ocean floor is thought to be fairly flat with occasional deeps abyssal plains trenches seamounts basins plateaus canyons and some guyots Various shelves along the margins of the continents constitute about 11% of the bottom topography with few deep channels cut across the continental rise. 2000 5,007,564 23.5% 2000 2,253,362 16.3% In 1960 non-Hispanic whites represented 80% of Miami-Dade county's population in 1970 the Census Bureau reported Miami's population as 45.3% Hispanic 32.9% non-Hispanic White and 22.7% Black Miami's explosive population growth has been driven by internal migration from other parts of the country primarily up until the 1980s as well as by immigration primarily from the 1960s to the 1990s Today immigration to Miami has continued and Miami's growth today is attributed greatly to its fast urbanization and high-rise construction which has increased its inner city neighborhood population densities such as in Downtown Brickell and Edgewater where one area in Downtown alone saw a 2,069% increase in population in the 2010 Census Miami is regarded as more of a multicultural mosaic than it is a melting pot with residents still maintaining much of or some of their cultural traits the overall culture of Miami is heavily influenced by its large population of Hispanics from the Caribbean and South America and blacks mainly from the Caribbean islands!
