For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of the formation of San Francisco Bay, the erosional and depositional features that have impacted it in the past and present, and the landforms and features found on the Pacific Coastline and within the estuary itself. It also reviews what San Francisco Bay looked like during the last ice age and the remnants of that ice age found today in the sands that underly the city of San Francisco.
