The fault is about 50 miles inland of the Californiacoast from southern California north to San Francisco, where itcontinues out 200 more miles before heading out to sea. All of California?s earthquakes are from the SanAndreas Fault, which is a major fracture in the Earth?s crust at themutual boundary of two of the major plates that make up theEarth?s crust. A verylarge earthquake usually rises at least once every year in somepart of the world. Earthquakes can be greatdestructers which produce such tragic effects as destroyed cities,broken dams, mud slides, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions. Others that are felt arejust small tremors or aftershocks. Fortunately, big earthquakes can be monitored bysensitive instruments called seismographs. Anearthquake is the sudden shaking of the ground that occurs whenmasses of rock change position below the Earth?s surface.Earthquakes, called tremblors by scientists, happen almostcontinuously. TheCentral Valley usually has a mild climate, but other parts of thearea are either hotter like Death Valley and the Mojave Desert, orcolder like the peaks of the Sierra Nevada.Įarthquakes are quite common in California. The averagerecorded temperatures in January range from 50 F in SanFrancisco, 56 F in Los Angeles, and the July temps are 72 F forLos Angeles, and a very comfortable 59 F in San Francisco. Temperatures along the coast are mild with smallvariations between the warmest and coolest months. Dumped on them, whileLos Angeles gets 15 in. A rainy, whichlasts from October to April, and a dry period, May to September.Annual precipitation is greatest in the north, especially near thePacific Coast, which gets around 80 in. Other goods made in California aresteel, textiles and clothing, refined petroleum, metal, wood,plastics, chemicals, and printed materials.Ĭalifornia?s climate varies in different regions becauseof the great changes in topography and wide latitudinal range.Most parts of the state has two distinct seasons. Most of the above come from or near theworld-famous Napa Valley. A large amount of it comes from fruits &vegetables, processed meat, canned fish, and beverages like wineand fruit juice. Manufacturing brought in an estimated $40.5 billion ayear in the mid-?70s. Gold production peaked in 1852but from there on, declined rapidly. Before long, the Gold Rush wasunder way, bringing thousands of ?forty-niners? to stake theirclaims in northern California. 24, 1848, gold was found at Sutter?s Mill. They include crudepetroleum, natural gas, boron, tungsten, sand and gravel,asbestos, copper, feldspar, iron ore, mercury, potash, rock salt,soda ash, sulfur, uranium, zinc, and gold. Pretty much all of the ruralpopulation is ranches or farmers.Ĭalifornia is very rich in minerals. About 95% of it?s population is metropolitan,or urban, so about 5% is rural. The majority of California?s persons are white, butthere is a notable number of blacks, Hispanics, and Japanese &Chinese Americans. |
