Chapter 10: the southern coastlands: On the Subtropical Margin



The southern coastland of the Bay Area would include the San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. The southern coastland has a subtropical environment and the Bay Area has an environment similar to Washington or Oregon.



Florida is known as an area where a lot of people like to go and retire. People over the age of 60 have populated 22% of Florida. Unlike Florida, the Bay Area does not have a large percentage of elderly people. This is projected to change in the future because it is projected that by the year 2020, the elderly population aged 60 and over will be a percentage increase of 50-99%.


In the 18th and 19th centuries, lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California (www.allcolorsofnature.com). The textbook Regional Landscape of the United States and Canada, mentioned that California produces more lemons than Florida. Lemons are not grown in San Francisco, but they are grown in near by Joaquin Valley.
