Los Angeles, with a population at the 2010 United States Census of 3,792,621, is the most populous city in California and the second most populous in the United States, after New York City. Los Angeles has a land area of 468.67 square miles and is located in the southern region of the state. Often known by its initials, LA, and nicknamed the City of Angels, Los Angeles is a world center of business, international trade, entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, technology, and education. Los Angeles has been ranked the third richest city and fifth most powerful and influential city in the world, behind only New York City in the United States. As the home base of Hollywood, Los Angeles is known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World”, leading the world in the creation of motion pictures, television production, video games, and recorded music. Los Angeles is also home to renowned universities such as the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is irregularly shaped and, according to the United States Census Bureau, covers a total area of 502.7 square miles comprising 468.7 square miles of land and 34.0 square miles of water. The Los Angeles River, a major river which is largely seasonal, is the primary drainage channel. Los Angeles is subject to earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire. The geologic instability has produced numerous faults, which cause approximately 10,000 earthquakes annually. One of the major faults is the San Andreas Fault, which is located at the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and is predicted to be the source of Southern California’s next big earthquake.
One of the major earthquakes that hit Los Angeles was the Northridge earthquake in 1994.
Among the major highways that connect LA to the rest of the nation include Interstate 5, which runs south through San Diego to Tijuana in Mexico and then north to the Canadian border through Sacramento, Portland, and Seattle; Interstate 10, the southernmost east–west, coast-to-coast Interstate Highway in the United States, going to Jacksonville, Florida; and U.S. Route 101, which heads to the California Central Coast, San Francisco, the Redwood Empire, and the Oregon and Washington coasts.
