California Has Four Regions

• Coastal Region

• Mountain Region

• Desert Region

• Central Valley Region

What is a Region?

• A region is an area with common features that set it apart from other areas.

• Features can include landforms (mountain ranges, valleys, etc.), climate, soil, and natural vegetation.

There are two main Mountain ranges in California

• the Sierra Nevada

• the Coastal Range

How Big is the Sierra Nevada?

• The Sierra Nevada stretches about 450 miles from north to south.

• It runs about 50 miles across, from east to west.

• The Sierra Nevada region makes up about 25 percent of California’s land area.

Water and the Sierra Nevada

• Snowmelt from the Sierra provides water for farms and dairies.

• It also provides drinking water for millions of California residents.

The Central Valley gets water from the snow melt of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. From earliest times, Californians have grown corn, wheat, and squash.

​​GROWING CROPS

​With mild temperatures and plenty of grassland, herding cattle and raising chickens is one of California's largest economy producers.

​​RAISING LIVESTOCK

​The Central Valley is an excellent location to grow grapes, almonds, walnuts, peaches, apples and so much more.

​Discovering California

Ice Age

More than fifteen thousand years ago, huge sheets of ice covered much of Canada and

the northern United States. In some places the ice was thousands of feet thick 

Beringia

Some lands that are now under water were dry. That’s why dry land once connected Asia to North America. During the Ice Age, this dry land formed an area that scientists today call Beringia or the “land bridge.” 

So how did people in Beringia live?

They had to look for plants and animals to eat. Small groups of just a few families, perhaps twenty-five to fifty people, helped each other as they moved around in search of food. People who live this way are called hunter-gatherers. 

Finding Food

While the women and children of the Ice Age looked for plants and berries, the men and older boys hunted. They tracked herds of mammoth and musk ox back and forth across Beringia. 

Moving South

Between nine thousand and fifteen thousand years ago, groups of hunter-gatherers spread out through this new world. Little by little, they moved into the ice-free parts of North America. They walked everywhere—and traveled all the way to South America’s southern tip!
