Au nord, la Harlem River s\u00e9pare l'\u00eele de Manhattan du Bronx et de la partie continentale des \u00c9tats-Unis. Plusieurs petites \u00eeles font \u00e9galement partie de l'arrondissement de Manhattan, notamment Randall's Island, Wards Island et Roosevelt Island dans l'East River, ainsi que Governors Island et Liberty Island au sud, dans le port de New York. L'\u00eele de Manhattan a une superficie de 59 km2, une longueur de 21,6 km et une largeur de 3,7 km \u00e0 son point le plus large (pr\u00e8s de la 14e rue).<\/p>\n
Manhattan est divis\u00e9 en Downtown (Manhattan inf\u00e9rieur), Midtown (Manhattan moyen) et Uptown (Manhattan sup\u00e9rieur), la Cinqui\u00e8me Avenue divisant les c\u00f4t\u00e9s est et ouest de Manhattan. L'\u00eele de Manhattan est d\u00e9limit\u00e9e par l'Hudson River \u00e0 l'ouest et l'East River \u00e0 l'est.<\/p>\n
Le socle rocheux qui sous-tend la majeure partie de Manhattan est un micaschiste connu sous le nom de \"Manhattan Schist\". Il s'agit d'une roche m\u00e9tamorphique solide et comp\u00e9tente cr\u00e9\u00e9e lors de la formation de la Pang\u00e9e. Elle convient bien aux fondations des grands b\u00e2timents et les deux grandes concentrations de gratte-ciel de l'\u00eele se trouvent \u00e0 des endroits o\u00f9 la formation est proche de la surface. Dans Central Park, on trouve des affleurements de schiste de Manhattan et Rat Rock en est un exemple assez important.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
