Are all the missions in California located near the Pacific coast?
The location of Misiones was a combination of political needs of land control and or by location of water sources and other natural resources.
Missions was a system implemented by the Spanish Crown to advance the area under control by Spain. Establishing a Mission had to be done following the Discovery and Exploration Ordinances issued by Spain to rule discovery and settlements of land in the new continent.
Systems of land control including Missions and military posts, called Presidios were used. Some of these military garrisons, and Misiones later on became towns such as Presidio Texas, and perhaps Mission Texas, both located along the Rio Grande River. The location of Missions responded to the needs of land control by the Crown and are usually located close to rivers.
The Missions in San Antonio TX are an example of locations along a river path.
More laws for land control and creation of human settlements are compiled in the 1680 Compilation of the Laws of the Indies issued by the King of Spain to rule the American lands under Spanish control. (Recopilacion de las Leyes de los Reynos de las Indias, Mandadas Imprimir Y publicar por la Magestad Catolica del Rey Don Carlos II, Nuestro Senor, Impresion hecha por orden del Real Supremo del Consejo de las Indias' Madrid, Espana,: Graficas Ultra).
Where are 'El Niño' and 'La Niña' found?
In the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean is where 'El Niño' and 'La Niña' are found. The two phrases refer to disruptive patterns that result from unusual changes in water temperatures. On the one hand, there may be an unusual warming. That's what's called 'El Niño'. On the other, there may be unusual cooling. That's what's called 'LaNiña'.
The phrases are part of the vocabulary of Spanish language speakers. The masculine definite article 'el' means 'the'. The masculine noun 'niño' means 'boy child'. It's pronounced 'ehl NEE-nyoh'. The feminine definite article 'la' means 'the'. The feminine noun 'niña' means 'girl child'. It's pronounced 'lah NEE-nyah'.
The phrase 'El Niño' is another way of referring to Jesus of Nazareth [c. 7-4 B.C.E. - c. A.D. 30]. He's the child whose birth is the foundation of Christianity. The term is used in regard to the disruptions, which particularly show up, during the Christmas season, off the Peruvian coast of western South America.
