What Is The Tule Fog, And Will It Ever Go Away? | Defector

California's Central Valley is a 400-mile long expanse, penned in by the Sierra Nevadas to the East and the Coast Ranges to the west. The flatland is composed of remarkably fertile soil, as both mountain ranges erode into and drain out through the valley via the San Francisco Bay. Before the bay was formed roughly 600,000 years ago, geological evidence suggests there was a Lake Michigan-sized inland body of water (referred to as Lake Corcoran in the literature) spanning most of the valley.
