I started a discussion on Facebook about interesting about the Geology of the region in which you live. Some funny answers!
North Dakota: it's all farmland, good soil.
Spokane, Washington: carved out by repeated floods from glacial Lake Missoula long, long ago; there is gold in them thar hills!
Moah, Utah: the bones of the earth are exposed
Japan: sits on top of the edge of three tectonic plates, making it prone to earthquakes and volcanoes. The buildings here are made to survive heavy earthquakes with minimal to no damage.
Brooklyn, NY: the borough features a long beachfront; From its ancient bedrock to fault zones that cut across the city to its geographic position at the edge of a glacier
Lake Michigan: there is a faultline that runs through Lake Michigan - it gets earthquakes!
Lake Isabella, CA: We used to have a lake
Bakersfield, CA: lots of dirt and rocks; dry riverbeds;
My input: The dense Tule fog in Bakersfield is like a natural disaster! Our school-aged children have 3 hour fog delays. Since we are in a valley, the fog gets trapped and lingers. Also, our local hockey team, The Condors, used to be called The Fog!
