California Geography

This is the geography of California. Here you can see the major geological features of California that we will be discussing today. Please locate the Klamath Mountains, Cascade Mountains, Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the Coastal Mountains. Now locate the Sacramento Valley, as well as the San Joaquin Valley. Do you notice how the Sacramento River runs right through both of these large valleys? It is for this reason that many farmers have decided to settle in these valleys, and why these valleys have become some of the largest agriculture producing regions in the world.
