CHAPTER.8- APPALACHIA AND THE OZARKS

This chapter went into great deal about the topography of this region of the United States. Los Angeles's topography s very different, but still as interesting. The Los Angeles area covers nearly 500 square miles, with 470 square miles of land, and 30 square miles of water. The highest point is Mount Lukens, which reaches 5080 feet and is in the northeast part of the San Fernando Valley area of L.A. The majority of Los Angeles lies on a hilly coastal plain with the Pacific Ocean to the south and west.
