The transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates in western California formed fairly recently. About 200 million years ago, a large tectonic plate (called the Farallon Plate) started to subduct beneath the western edge of North America.
Water helps maintain temperature of communities close to it. It does this by absorbing heat emanating from the communities around the water bodies such as rivers and seas in a process known as convection current. In exchange for absorbing the heat from the land, the river or sea supplies the land with cool sea breeze. This exchange will help maintain temperature at a close range.
Soil form as rock is broken down by weathering and mixes with other materials on surface. soil is constantly being formed wherever bedrock is exposed. over time soil develops layers called horizons. a soil horizon is a layer of a soil that differs in color and texture from the layers above or below it.
