4. flag of Los Angeles
The city flag of Los Angeles consists of a background
of three notched stripes of green, gold and red. The
flag was designed by Roy E. Silent and E.S. Jones in
1931 for the Los Angeles sesquicentennial from 1781.
The flag evokes mixed reactions, with some disliking
the design, and some praising it. Many of the staff at
LAist/KPCC criticized it in 2019. Ted Kaye, author of
"Good" Flag, "Bad" Flag, a booklet endorsed by the
North American Vexillological Association, described
Los Angeles' flag as a "failed image" that fails to spark
pride and unity in the city. He criticized its use of the
city seal while praising the serrated green, gold, and
red stripes.

5. Seal of Los Angeles
The Seal of the City of Los Angeles is,
since 1905, the official seal of the City of
Los Angeles, a city located in the
southern portion of the U.S. state of
California.
The escutcheon is encircled by the legal
name of the city (City of Los Angeles)
and year founded (1781). It was adopted
on March 27, 1905, via Ordinance
10,834.

6. Demographics
Los Angeles has the second largest Mexican, Armenian,
Salvadoran, Filipino and Guatemalan population by city in the
world, the third largest Canadian population in the world, and has
the largest Japanese, Iranian/Persian, Cambodian and Roma
(Gypsy) population in the country.
Christianity is the most practiced religion in Los Angeles.
Spanish is the most spoken foreign language in Los Angeles.
Korean, Filipino, Armenian, Chinese, and Persian are also
spoken in the city.

7. Geography
Los Angeles is a very large city, and the
edges of the city are very far from the
center, going from the beaches to the
mountains. The Santa Monica Mountains
run through the city, separating it into the
San Fernando Valley to the north and the
Los Angeles Basin to the south. The Los Angeles
River also runs through the city some 51 miles (82 km). Los
Angeles moves about one-quarter of an inch (6.3 millimeters) to
the east every year.[22] It is caused by the city's tectonic plates
and rough ground geography and since Los Angeles is at a close
distance with the San Andreas Fault. This brings Los Angeles and
San Francisco 2.5 inches (64 mm) closer together each year.

8. Geology
Mount Lukens, in the San Gabriel Mountains, is the highest point in LA
Los Angeles is subject to earthquakes because of its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The geologic instability has produced numerous faults, which cause approximately
10,000 earthquakes annually in Southern California, though most of them are too small
to be felt. The strike-slip San Andreas Fault system, which sits at the boundary between
the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, passes through the Los Angeles
metropolitan area. The segment of the fault passing through Southern California
experiences a major earthquake roughly every 110 to 140 years, and seismologists have
warned about the next "big one", as the last major earthquake was the 1857 Fort Tejon
earthquake. The Los Angeles basin and metropolitan area are also at risk from blind
thrust earthquakes. Major earthquakes that have hit the Los Angeles area include the
1933 Long Beach, 1971 San Fernando, 1987 Whittier Narrows, and the 1994 Northridge
events. All but a few are of low intensity and are not felt. Parts of the city are also
vulnerable to tsunamis; harbor areas were damaged by waves from Aleutian Islands
earthquake in 1946, Valdivia earthquake in 1960, Alaska earthquake in 1964, Chile
earthquake in 2010 and Japan earthquake in 2011.

9. Religion
According to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center, Christianity is the most
prevalently practiced religion in Los Angeles (65%). The Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Los Angeles is the largest archdiocese in the country. Cardinal
Roger Mahony, as the archbishop, oversaw construction of the Cathedral of Our
Lady of the Angels, which opened in September 2002 in Downtown Los
Angeles.
In 2011, the once common, but ultimately lapsed, custom of conducting a
procession and Mass in honor of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, in
commemoration of the founding of the City of Los Angeles in 1781, was revived
by the Queen of Angels Foundation and its founder Mark Albert, with the
support of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles as well as several civic leaders. The
recently revived custom is a continuation of the original processions and
Masses that commenced on the first anniversary of the founding of Los Angeles
in 1782 and continued for nearly a century thereafter.

10. Climate
The climate in Los Angeles is a Mediterranean climate. The
weather is usually warm and dry during the summer, and it is mild
and more rainy in the winter. The weather is different depending on
how far away from the ocean you are, so places near the beach
usually do not get as hot in the summer. It is very rare for
temperatures to go below freezing near the coast, but can occur
further inland. The city receives about 15 inches (380 mm) of rain
each year, although the amount can change a lot from year to year.
Snow is very rare except on the mountain tops where some
occasional light snow might fall.

11. Economy
