California Central Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (690 words)
The California Central Valley is a large, flat valley that dominates the central portion of the state of California.
Bounded by the Cascade Range to the north, the Sierra Nevada to the east, the Tehachapi Mountains to the south, and the Coast Range and San Francisco Bay to the west, this valley is a vast agricultural region drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers.
The Central Valley has become famous around the world as the home of California's giant agriculture industry; the fertile soil is also thought to have originated from the days when the valley was a sea floor.
Central Coast, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (403 words)
The Central Coast is an area of California, extending from Santa Cruz in the north to Santa Barbara in the south, but centering primarily on Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties.
Due to the low population density of the central coast, educational and cultural resouces are relatively scarce.
University of California campuses are found both in Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, on the extreme north and south edges of the region, respectively.
