Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Physiography of California That portion of the Pacific Coast region embraced within the state of California is characterized by a remarkable diversity in its topographic features. The relative position Of the mountain ranges, valleys, and plains, and the direction of the prevailing winds have given rise to great contrasts in climatic conditions as well as a variety of productions. Regions of excessive heat con trast with those of: perpetual snow; regions of humidity with those of aridity; while broad valleys devoted to fruit and grain adjoin mountains filled with the precious metals. For the full understanding of the physiography of a region, the student must know something of its geological history. How especially true this is of California will appear in the course of this paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
