Essay / San Francisco Annual Temperature - 973
San Francisco is an amazing city surrounded by water and is known for its great beauty. The geography of San Francisco is also what makes it very special. The latitude of San Francisco is 37°46' N and the longitude is 122°30' W. It is also in the Northern Hemisphere. In San Francisco, the annual temperature range is 22°F. The annual temperature range subtracts the month with the highest average maximum temperature with the month with the lowest average minimum temperature. I solved the equation by subtracting 66°F from 44°F and that's how I got an annual temperature range of 22°F. The annual temperature range is the degrees between the lowest and highest temperatures or the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures. The month with the highest average maximum temperature is September at 66°F. The month with the lowest average minimum temperature is January at 44°F. The hottest month in San Francisco is September with an average monthly temperature of 59.9°F while the coldest month in San Francisco is January with an average monthly temperature of 50.9°F. San Francisco has mild annual temperatures and there is no intense heat or cold. San Francisco's average annual temperature is 55.4°F. The climatograph shows that the coldest months are December and January while the hottest months are August and September. It also shows that winters in San Francisco are wet and summers are dry. The climatograph shows that the month of September has the highest temperature while the month with the lowest temperature is January. The weather changes from dry summers to wet winters. The climatograph tells us that January is the wettest month in San Francisco, while July is the driest month.

On the Pacific plate, Transform boundary with the San Andreas fault. Transform fault boundaries occur when two plates slide horizontally past each other. Transformation boundaries are usually found on the ocean floor, but a few are found on land. The San Andreas Fault Zone is a transform fault that connects the East Pacific Rise, a divergent boundary to the south, with the Gorda-Juan de Fuca-Explorer South Ridge, yet another divergent boundary to the north. Ultimately, because it is a transform boundary, the convergent boundary slides past each of the plates in order to release the pressure. As the San Andreas Fault constitutes the primary transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate, the Hayward Fault assumes part of the total movement between the plates...
