The area selected in this map is a mountainous region of the central coast of Santa Barbara. Due to plate tectonics, this region lies on an active plate boundary which causes these coastal mountain ranges. The North American Plate converges with the Pacific plate causing mass uplift and sometimes earthquakes. Since it is close to the ocean, the tributaries are quite easy to recognize. They flow off the mountains all the way to the ocean. The location of these images in coordinates is (34.5244,-119.7908).
