1. The biodiversity hotspot I choose to write about is the California Floristic Province. 2. The California Floristic Province is located in United States, mainly, in the state of California, reaching Oregon and northern Mexico (BBC, 2004). 3. One important species the live in the California Floristic Province is the Aloe adigratana (it has no common name). According to circumstantial evidence, it has been used as medicine.

2016 PSC 103 Take Home Part of Exam 2 Geology of California Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. Compared to the mantle, the plates are a hard, tough, and rigid shell. California is made up of different types of plates that are unique in the way that they form and move.

Compared to more arid areas California has it easy in supply of water. Northern California is a very lush area the issues running through all of California relate to water delivery and recycling. An example of an area not having enough water is Afghanistan. There is only 13 percent of the country that has drinking water available (www.ecorazzi.com). Compared with California the delivery of the water is no drought an issue but it's more of not having water in general. We as California have at least before

A majority of lower and mid western US states has seen the exploration efforts of the Spanish, but other then this the settlement efforts of Utah and California
