Chapter 10: THE SOUTHERN COASTLANDS:ON THE SUBTROPICAL MARGIN

     In this chapter, it's basically talks about the weather enviroment, the agriculture production, hazards and resources. Therefore, I will introduce these elements in Oakland.

     Oakland's climate is typified by the temperate and seasonal Mediterranean climate. Summers are usually dry and warm and winters are mild and wet. It is a coast city.

     There is no special agriculculture production in Oakland. For hazard, Oakland in different from southern coastlands, it does not have hurricans, instead, Oakland is in Seismic Hazard Zone. The earthquake is the most dangerous threaten in Oakland, or I can say in the whole California area.
