Coast Range. About 24 m.y. ago the Coast Range, consisting mainly of marine sedimentary rocks, was uplifted as the Pacific and N. American plates converged. The Central Valley, a foreland basin, formed at that time and the granite masses of the Sierra Nevada were emplaced. Transform fault movement along the margin began ~5 m.y. ago: The Pacific plate began moving more northward, and large-scale lateral movement began on the San Andreas fault zone.
