Chapter 11 The Great Plains

The Great Plains are a very much what they're name says. It is a very large area of flat land used mostly for agriculture which is the main use of this land. Although the San Fernando Valley is not the greatest area for agriculture, there are nearby areas such as Oxnard that are involved heavily in farming, but San Fernando Valley can relate to the Great Plains in other ways. There are several other characteristics about the region that can be similar as the Valley. The Great Plains has a severe weather unpredictability aspect. The weather can change very quickly within less than an hour. The San Fernando Valley is similar but not identical to this. In The Great Plains it is a much faster change in weather, but in the Valley the weather will also change from day to day. It can be extremely hot and sunny for weeks at a time, and out of nowhere we will get a few days of rain, a few days of unexpected wind, and then back to the sun and heat. The rain and wind can strike at the most unexpected times.
