For my Geography project, the city I chose to do it on is Santa Clarita, California. The reason I chose this city is because it is the city where I am currently living in. So thanks for visiting my web page and enjoy!

Chapter 8: Appalachia and the Ozarks


The nearest mountain range in Santa Clarita is Santa Susana Mountain. It is a transverse range of mountains in Southern California. It is located north of Los Angeles. It comes from east to west which separates the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley on its south, from Santa Clara River Valley to the north, and Santa Clarita Valley to the northeast. In the winter time, the mountains is typically wet with cold temperatures. But in the summer time, the temperature gets really hot and is really prone to wild fire. A video below shows the fire that happened there.



In Santa Clarita, because of its dry summer seasons, we are prone to having wild fire. Sometimes people accidentally throw cigarette on the ground and it catches fire, and some do it on purpose, but living here in Santa Clarita for fifteen years, I have encountered several of them
