Answer:
1. More than 100,000 people come to California in two years.
2. Agricultural expansion begins.
3. Decreased mining opportunities brought miners to the valley.
4. Production of hay, barley, wheat, grapes and other fruits began.
This is the sequence that best represents the discovery of gold in 1848. Many people arrived to California looking for gold originally. This was called the "Gold Rush," and it was one of the reasons why the California region grew so quickly. With the arrival of these people, food pressures increased, and agriculture increased as well. When the mining opportunities decreased, many people became farmers and settled in the valley.
