The California Coast ranges run along the coast line in California. It has many different areas that run together. In the northern part of the coast line the Klamouth Mountains run about 80 miles down the coast.

Sierra Nevada
An earthquake zone is likely to be on a fault-line. A fault-line is defined as the area underground where two tectonic plates meet or overlap.
Along the San Andrea's fault which runs along the California coast line and up into Alaska.
Even though Florida or Louisiana might have the humidity of (Former) South Vietnam (most US veterans can't speak for North Vietnam, as most US veterans have never been there; excepting US POWs); those states do not have the mountains such as South Vietnam's "Central Highlands." In addition, Florida or Louisiana don't have a single coast line corresponding with their geography...Vietnam has a coast line along the Pacific Ocean (although it's called the South China Sea). This leaves California as a comparable state to correspond with Vietnam: California has a coast line along the Pacific Ocean; California has a Central Highlands (Sierra Nevada Mountains); California has (or had) several Mekong Deltas (swamps) in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco Bay areas; these areas in California are often referred to as "Wildlife Areas", consisting primarily of waterfowl and other marsh birds. California has a major rice industry (rice fields) within the Sacramento Valley. Both California and Vietnam are long and skinny regions and each has bordering neighbors: California has Oregon along it's northern border, Nevada along it's east northern border, and Arizona along it's south eastern border, with the ocean on it's western coast line. Vietnam has Red China along it's northern border; Laos along it's north west border; Cambodia along it's south west border, and the ocean along it's eastern coastline.
Technically no, but the Rocky Mountains are large! It is actually a general term for 60 different mountain ranges that stretches for almost 3,000 miles. So it is easy to get the Sierra Nevada mixed up with the Rockies, it is also common to mix up the Pacific Coast Range, Cascade Range, and the North American Cordillera with the Rocky Mountains.
Yes, along the coast line the ivory coast is covered with rainforest.
Appalachian Mountains.
It is pulled down along a fault line where two tectonic plates meet. If you are looking for a location there is a fault line right off the coast of california.
The Andes mnt. Lies on the west coast of south America!Thank you
they are on the coast line
Only the Pacific coast along South America is desert. Most of the Pacific coast line in the rest of the Americas is not desert. In South America the prevalent wind direction is from the east. The Andes Mountains prevent moisture from the east from crossing, creating a rain shadow desert along the Pacific Coast. In North America the prevalent wind direction is from the west so the coast receives rain. However, the mountains prevent the rain from moving inland so rain shadow deserts form in these areas.
