San Francisco is pretty much cold most of the year and gets a lot of rain. What we read about in our book “Regional Landscapes of United States and Canada” is that the bypassed east is also cold, with lots of precipitation, and mountains. Mountains are the biggest difference between the bypassed east and San Francisco. San Francisco’s temperature averages at 57 degrees F annually, the annual average precipitation is 22.28 inches and the most rain comes in January.
Mount Tamalpais, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, has a peak 2,604 ft. high; at its base is the Muir Woods National Monument. Mount Tamalpais is the product of The North American and Pacific Plates sliding against each other, and it is also by the San Andreas Fault.
There is almost zero agriculture in the Bay area, first of all its covered in buildings second due to high pollution the soil is not the best for crops. But in Solano County they grow beans, sunflower seed, wheat, corn, almonds, walnuts, grapes, and alfalfa. In Sonoma county there’s crops such as apples, mushrooms, watercress, and chestnuts. But wine grapes dominate most of the crops in Sonoma.
