It is
Basin and Range topography whcich is the predominant topography from the Rockies to the Coast. The Santa Monica, Verdugo, Santa Susanna and San Gabriel's are the 4 major ranges that cut right through the city limits of Los Angeles. In addition there are the Baldwin Hills (a very new mountain range in its infancy) rising in the center of the Los Angeles Basin, the San Rafael Hills that run through the seldom if ever photographed Northeast corner of the city and the Palos Verdes Hills to the extreme southwest of the city. So depending on where you are the city is very hilly, mountainess or flat.
