Southern California borders the Pacific Ocean and has a Mediterranean climate.
Explanation:
The United States is one of the largest countries in the world and its relative location contributes to numeous different types of climates to be present in its territory. One of the climate types that are present, but also one that is very localized, is the Mediterranean climate type. This climate type can only be found in California and a very small part of southern Oregon.
The Mediterranean climate type is part of the temperate climate types, but it can be seen as a transitional climate type between the tropical and temperate climates as well. When it comes to its characteristics, this climate type has very hot and dry summers. The spring and autumn are pleasant, while the winters are mild and wet. The amount of precipitation is decent, but it is unevenly distributed throughout the year, so while part of the year has solid amount of rainfall, the other part of the year experiences drought.

It is actually one of the three main process of heat transfer. The other two process of heat transfer are conduction and radiation. </span>
