California is a big state with varying terrains. There are steep cliffs and mountains, forests, beaches, and deserts. It also has the highest and lowest points in the continental US; Mt. Whitney being the highest and Death Valley being the lowest.
Mountain ranges can be created at all three types of plate boundaries in California: convergent boundaries (e.g. Sierra Nevada Mountains), divergent boundaries (e.g. Basin and Range Province), and transform boundaries (e.g. San Gabriel Mountains).
