In California you can find the world's most fertile valley. The biggest problems of California are water and the air pollution in the big cities. In 1906 there was a big earthquake in San Francisco, due to which most of the city was destroyed. The last big earthquake was in 1989.

California is a land of contrasts. You can find the highest mountain (Mount Whitney 4,418 metres) only some miles away from the lowest point on the western hemisphere in Death Valley (86 metres below sea level). In that place, the hottest temperature in the USA (56,7°C) was recorded.

California is also the place where you can find the highest tree in the world: the Sequoia in Mirwood forest (near San Francisco).
