A geological fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation. Synsedimentary folds are those due to slumping of sedimentary material before it is lithified. Folds in rocks vary in size from microscopic crinkles to mountain-sized folds. They occur singly as isolated folds and in extensive fold trains of different sizes, on a variety of scales.
Folds form under varied conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks. A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogenic zones. Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault (fault bend fold), at the tip of a propagating fault (fault propagation fold), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. above a laccolith.
Is flood an environmental factor?
Whilst flood events are devastating to humans they are a natural occurrence that can provide negative and positive important environmental impacts. ... The speed of flooding is another major factor, flood waters that rise slowly allow animals to escape immediate effects.

The Earth is a spherical shape and maps are flat 2-D shapes,so this makes it difficult to size the exact proportions correctly because they just don't mix. It's like trying to make a flat mask for your face.
Answer:
i think its becuase there is a ocean near francisco and it absorbs heat but kansas city has more thermal hot spring so its more hot in kansas im not sure just give a try
